This is Newegg's current (Noon Central) Shellshocker. I had one in my cart but then took it out because I already have have an Arc Midi that I really like. I'm going to be upgrading my processor, motherboard, memory, and video card but keeping most everything else. So, as much as I like the Define R4, the case I have is perfectly good and there is no point in spending even $70 for a case I don't need.

But for those of you looking for a fine case, this is a great deal. I have a couple of friends who have their builds in this and they love them. I can see why...

Link to the case @ Newegg

You can also get the windowed version for only $10.00 more.

Many people seem to swear by this case but it has never really appealed to me. AT $69.99 it is quite a deal though. Does the noise dampening really work?

I've built a lot of systems, and my last complete build was with a Fractal Define XL for my media server, and it was a very nice experience.

I really can't say enough nice things about it, but to be honest, the server sits in the basement. Still, it's nice and quiet, and freaking solid.

My rig is in an R4:
Gigabyte G1 GTX 970
Seasonic SS-660XP2
TR Ultra 120 w/ Cougar CF-V12HPB (120mm PWM fan)
3x Rosewill 140mm PWM case fans

On the floor it's quieter than my Dell 6420 sitting on top of it when the laptop fan is at its lowest. The only venting open is the rear of the case. During POST when it gooses the fans it's a quiet droning for a few seconds.

I am very happy with it.
