wow, super clean rig! Good luck finding the windowed side panel, it'd be a shame to not show off all that lovely hardware and super clean interior.

Have you tried the H100i in the R4 case yet? I was under the impression that the H100/H100i won't fit, as there isn't enough room above the MB. It may work if the fans are mounted on the outside of the case though.
Should be a nice rig!

Just able to squeeze it in when fixing it a little offset. No push/pull tho´ I found the solution in this excellent Youtube-vid.

I didn't realise that I changes I had made to my photobucket account had affected the previously posted photos.

its good because the red is not overpowering like in some other builds.
After waiting some time for them to become available in the UK, I've finally managed to get my hands on a black windowed side panel for the R4! 
As far as noise goes, the system does seem to be a little louder now that the side panel is missing a big chunk of the sound dampening material, but not by much.
I just need to get some LEDs now to light it up properly...red...or white... mmm...

Run the frontpannel conectors underneath the mobo, this will clean up the long cables in the bottom.
And i relly dont like the fact that you are running a m-atx mobo in an atx case, i personaly would chose the define mini, if i was planning on having a m-atx mobo.
Dead space look wierd to me.
But apart from that i love the black/dark with a hint of red
