Fractal Arc Midi & R4 Side Panel Windows

[PetrolHead247]

Oh yes, it's finally here, the Arc Midi side panel window! :lol:

The new R4 also gets the side panel window treatment from the Fractal team

The side panels are the same design as the R3 window that came before them. There's no visible rivets or plastic bevels, just a simple clean design that gets a big thumbs up from me. Pricing and availability has not yet been announced

Oh yes i am! I was going to mod a window in myself but this is awesome news, has come at the perfect time too as i'm upgrading very very soon

 

[ruthless_villain]

does anybody know when it is going to be available?

 

[Dandaman91]

Awesome! Looking forward to this one but can't find a release date anywhere

 

[VengeanceUK]

about damn time, i leave the side off my midi atm lol

 

[WYP]

nice, about time. it would be pure torture if you had to mod a window yourself, all that foam!

 

[VengeanceUK]

the midi has no foam lining so its all gravy lol
and with the r4 i assume a decent dremel blade would make mincemeat of it

i suppose so but it would still deter me from trying.
it is also nice to see that more and more case manufactures are moving away from the fan slots on windows .

hopefully Fratcal are clever enough to replace this on some of their more popular models so people don't endup with 2 side doors

no windows for the cores?

does anybody know when it is going to be available?

It was originally stated that the release date would be Aug '12 but as we are now on the 30th Aug, who knows when they'll show up at retailers.

On the Fractal Design facebook page they said sometime in September

Can't wait for this release! Been tempted by the R3/4 for quite a while now but having to wait until I can get the wedding out of the way!

 

[robbiess]

are the windows completely the same for the arc and R4 in dimension and design and tell me if I'm wrong but there wont be any sound dampening on the edges it's a bit silly for the space around it any one know what they've done with that

That Midi is really beautiful!

 

[CPMFW]

That Midi is really beautiful!

no windows for the cores?

Would love one for Core 3000. Tho dunno if it would fit with my CPU cooler since it's already almost touching the side panel ^_^
