Apparently I have just built a PC
xShadow:
Okay, everything assembled and I am posting from it. I haven't gotten all of the drivers together, so far everything seems to be working alright, including the WIFI module that I am posting from that I did not even know this had until I unwrapped it. It took a long-ass time to assemble because I had to take out and put the motherboard back in roughly 4-5 times to minor mistakes, but hey whatever.
I still don't have all of my 6-7 hard drives in there. I know that for instance my IDE will not work in it because it does not have an IDE port! <_< Oh damn, my 80 gigs what the fuck will I do without it...
Oh, and the CPU fan sucks, big time. I'll be replacing this thing. It must be replaced. Just give me something easy to mount... By the way I don't think that corsair water thing is going to work because this thing doesn't have regular sized fan slots; they are all big ones.
But the case is absolutely amazing. everything about it screams high quality (at least right now)

The h100i will really be a dream to put in and the R4 has the room.

Because it's just one image out of more then likely a very lengthy review so if you are going to use it then also give the rest of the info.

why? isn't a summary better than a whole page of texts?

Yeah but cpu is it on, what are the ambient temps? Two huge factors when viewing ability to cool.

hmmm, does it really matter that much? i only posted the pic for the fact that it performs great (a long the lines of liquid cooling).
anyway here - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Phanteks/PH-TC14PE/6.html

microcenter has the H100i, Cooler Master Seidon 240M, Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme, and NZXT Kraken X40 140mm Ultra Performance Liquid, but yeah H100i can fit inside the define R4.

edit: the only problem i'd see on using AIOs in Design R4 is the lack of panel intake directly facing the rams and such, without the air-HSF the air circulation around those components decreases substantially.
Gh0st93:
That depends if he got the windowed version or not if not then he can have a 140mm pushing air onto it and the graphics cards. Plus he can use the fans to blow air down onto the board and the rear 140 for exhaust.
kitamesume:
so you mean use the rads as top intake? i dont think thats a good idea
