Nanoxia Deep Silence vs Fractal Design?

[mpbrede]

Hi, long time sine I last posted here.

I built quite a number of systems with Fractal Design cases, but I'm a little unhappy with them, since I've now had two cases that had slight defects - I can work around them, but it's just a tad annoying.

So now I'm looking to try out a Deep Silence case from Nanoxia. While I see the reviews around the 'net, I was wondering if anyone here had any direct experience contrasting the two case types?

Thanks in advance!

I have had that question a few times. Loving the FD cases, though. Just not in the market for one right now.

I'm following this thread to see how you end up.

Having used both the Deep Silence 1 and Define R5, I must say I prefer the Define R5, although both are excellent.

I've used both and I prefer Fractal Design.

So that's two votes for the big guys... Thanks.

Any specifics on what makes Fractal Design cases stand out?

What about the NZXT case without Optical Drive bays? That looks VERY interesting as well.

Can you tell us what where those defects?

If we are going to consider other cases, Phanteks makes some very nice ones. Many consider Phanteks to be the best designed .. especially in their price range.
