So this is a "quiet" case, not an "airflow" case, I take it?

I need some new cases with better airflow. I have one Raidmax Tornado (but the fans spin so slowly), and one Rosewill Redbone (better, but still gets kinda warm).

I really liked the Antec 300, with the full complement of fans, but those cases are pretty heavy.

it's kinda both. it's not as quiet as a P183 is, nor as sturdily built. but way more airflow with lots of spaces for 140mm fans.

For anyone looking for an ATX case, I think this is one of the best options available. And perhaps the best option that tries to match silence with quality air flow.

I just put a 4790k build into this case and I really like it. I'm running 4 140mm PWM fans, 3 intake 1 outtake, in addition to the CPU fan, all attached to a Swiftech fan splitter. I haven't overclocked anything yet, nor changed any fan settings as it's quiet and fast enough so far. Fractal did send me some extra feet that I attached to the default feet so I could raise the case to help with the bottom intake.

I also really like the extra space behind the motherboard tray and it has helped a tremendous amount with cable management. I don't have a lot of hardware in my R4 at the moment, but it is the cleanest and coolest build I've ever put together. I'm really impressed with the case.

As to weight, I am coming from an Antec 180 and it is considerably lighter while maintaining a very solid build quality. And I don't feel like I am missing anything in regards to expansion.

I've had the previous revision (r3) for over two years now. It is by far the best case I've ever owned, and will probably hold on to it for a few more years at minimum.

I really like the black and white color combo on this case, too. Very slick looking.

FYI, both hard drive cages can be removed to improve airflow, which is what I did. I have an SSD velcrod to the back of the motherboard tray and a 3.5" drive mounted in one of the 5.25" bays (bluray reader in the other), which is more than enough for my storage needs considering I have a NAS as well.

I wonder if I can do the same with my R3 version. I'll have to look when I get home today.
