Product Overview

The Fractal Design Define R4 is the latest in the Define Series of computer cases offering minimalistic and stunning Scandinavian design fused with maximum sound reduction, configurability and functionality.

The Define R4 side and front door panels are fitted with dense, sound-absorbing material making it a benchmark for noise reduction. Moreover, the Define R4 accommodates up to 8 HDDs, all modern graphics card sizes, and multiple ventilation options - including two standard Silent Series R2 hydraulic bearing fans - to keep internal components at optimal temperatures. For ultimate functionality, the Define R4 features a front interface with USB 3.0 and an integrated three-speed fan controller behind the front panel door.

• High density noise-reducing material for an optimal silent case
• Patent pending ModuVent™ design allowing the user to choose between optimal silence or maximum airflow
• Top HDD cage (5 trays total) can be rotated 90 degrees or removed for additional airflow or to accommodate long graphic cards up to 430mm in length
• Three-speed fan controller is strategically integrated in the front panel and supports up to 3 fans
• Two Silent Series R2 fans included, featuring hydraulic bearings contributing to a longer life expectancy
• Wider case body that allows for improved cable routing behind the motherboard - now 26mm wide
• New tool-less front fan holder makes switching front fans a breeze
• Two SSDs can be mounted on the back of the motherboard plate

Customer Reviews

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by It's Big! Have to agree with all the other comments on here. It's a really well built case, superb quality and great value. It was a lot bigger than I'd imagined though, and was too big for my desk space really. That's my fault though, I should have read the spec better! If you don't mind the size, then I don't think you can do better for the money. 22 September 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent case. Brought this case for a home server. Excellent capacity for hard drives. Quiet fans, excellent amount of space for cable management. 27 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amazing case I wanted a case that was easy to work on for my first build, i got everything i was looking for with this case. It has lots of space very high quality and so quiet. Anybody looking to buy this case will not be dissapointed, i would buy again for another build. 22 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic! A great, solid case with plenty of room to build. Very silent, I can't hear the fans on the low & medium fan controller settings. Barely audible on the highest setting. Cable management required thought but was easy enough. 14 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Just perfect. If you're buying quality components to build a quality gaming PC, why sacrifice on a case? The Fractal Design R4 is a premium looking silent PC case that gets so many things right that other cases can only dream of getting. Also note, the pictures do not do it justice, this case is HUGE. 07 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent design inside and out Nothing to say that has not already been said about this case. The one note is price, i don't believe this can be beaten at this price point. 01 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic, would highly recommend Very pleased with this case, definitely the best case I've worked with. - Lots of room behind the backplate for cable management - Well positioned routing holes - Dead silent fans, very useful to have the built in fan controller - Everything made very easy, screw box comes with very clear labelling - Great standoff screwing tool Overall the case was a pleasure to work with, would recommend it without a doubt. 05 April 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Well built, quiet case Solidly made, all metal chassis, with ample cooling options for several 140mm and 120mm fans. Comes with two fans. Cleverly-designed fan filters, easy to access and clean. Plenty of space in the case, two disc caddies, one of which is rotatable to increase air flow over the CPU. Everything is easy to access. Only a couple of things to improve: move the PSU mounting to the top of the case rear panel to improve air flow, and reduce dust intake; and use captive screws for the side panels. 31 December 2013

Answer: 
Not in my rig using the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 motherboard. It sits far too high in the case and leaves less than an inch of height to the top. If you were to cut the top open so that the watercooler sits proud you would be okay.
I would recommend if you're spending the money to go with water, you might want to spend the money to go with a quality case. I really like the Source 210 Elite, though I don't have any information on if your radiator would fit in it or not.
