Introducing Define R4   The Fractal Design Define R4 is the latest in the Define Series of computer cases offering minimalistic and stunning Scandinavian design fused with maximum sound reduction, configurability and functionality. The Define R4 side and front door panels are fitted with dense, sound-absorbing material making it a benchmark for noise reduction. Moreover, the Define R4 accommodates up to 8 HDDs, all modern graphics card sizes, and multiple ventilation options – including two standard Silent Series R2 hydraulic bearing fans – to keep internal components at optimal temperatures. For ultimate functionality, the Define R4 features a front interface with USB 3.0 and an integrated three-speed fan controller behind the front panel door.     Key features High density noise-reducing material for an optimal silent case – To achieve a high level of noise reduction, material with mass should be incorporated which is what we strive to achieve with the dense bitumen used on the side panels. Patent pending ModuVent™ design allowing the user to choose between optimal silence or maximum airflow Top HDD cage (5 trays total) can be rotated 90° or removed for additional airflow or to accommodate long graphic cards up to 430mm in length Three-speed fan controller is strategically integrated in the front panel and supports up to 3 fans Two Silent Series R2 fans included, featuring hydraulic bearings contributing to a longer life expectancy – Silent Series R2 retail fans will now come standard in all cases Wider case body that allows for improved cable routing behind the motherboard – now 26mm wide New tool-less front fan holder makes switching front fans a breeze Two SSDs can be mounted on the back of the motherboard plate USD: $ 109.99 EURO: € 94,95 GBP: £ 79,95 SEK: 899:-   Model Define R4 Black Pearl Define R4 Titanium Grey Define R4 Arctic White   Article Number FD-CA-DEF-R4-BL FD-CA-DEF-R4-TI FD-CA-DEF-R4-WH   EAN / UPC 7350041080916 / 817301010917 7350041080923 / 817301010924 7350041080930 / 817301010931     Contact details   For more information, please visit  www.fractal-design.com or click here to download the Define R4 Product Sheet.

Computers do more than make living easier; they often define the functionality and design of our offices, our homes, ourselves. The products we choose represent how we want to describe the world around us, and how we want others to describe us. Many of us are drawn to designs from Scandinavia, which are organized, clean and functional while remaining stylish, sleek and elegant. We like these designs because they harmonize with their surroundings and become nearly transparent. Brands like Georg Jensen, Bang Olufsen, Skagen Watches and Ikea are just a few that represent this Scandinavian style and efficiency. In the world of computers components there is only one name you should know, Fractal Design. For more information and product specifications, visit www.fractal-design.com
