Damn, I had contacted Fractal Design, who told me that my ATX graphic card wouldn't fit in there (with the AIO radiator+fans mounted).. That's why I went with the Define C
Hmm, that was the first case I bought, but I returned it because it was huge... but it's an aluminum front. It's actually super well designed.
The PC shop that did my custom cooling provided me with a Thermaltake Suppressor F51, it's a Define R6 rip-off. I had no real choice on the case because I was visiting Paris for just 3 days and that's what they had in stock...
The Define R6 front filters actually serve some purpose. On the Thermaltake, they put the filter mesh on in front of the air vents: that is it doesn't filter anything, air can come in from the side vents and go in, never going through the filter. Totally idiotic design...
Today, I really regret that I didn't keep the R6, was a great case, and super silent.
Well, may go this way in the future, at least I'll be able to reuse the 2x4TB Toshiba disks.
It is cheap indeed, but having said that, if all you want is JBOD, the most affordable TB3 4 disks enclosures are:
The Caldigit T4
OWC ThunderBay 4
The Akito Thunder 3 quad (almost identical to the OWC one)
The nice thing about the Caldigit is that it can feed 85W over the TB3, so if working with an Apple macbook pro, you won't need to worry about splitting power.
I like the OWC best, and really hesitated in going with that.
I do love the internal RAID 1, it makes my PC dead quiet, the Pegasus2 was rather loud, much more than the PC.
