To Fractal Or Not To Fractal ?

Hey there guys, im in need of some assistance in case choice

Basically, I have some Parts left over from a previous build which are going to be used as a 24/7 rig for my usual day to day nonsence.

I want the case to be white so the first thing that comes to mind is a Fractal R3 and I think they look outstanding!, this would also be benneficial seeing as there will be 2 rigs in my room eventually. One black/white and the other white/black (im going for a vice versa sort of theme between the 2 lol)

Shoul'd I get the R3 or is there someting even more amazing out there that I haven't seen ?

Btw I also have to add, I've hear various rumours about the build quality being poor in some cases and things arriving broken etc is it enough of a reaso to stay away from this case ?
 
Cheers for the links man much appreciated, taking a look through them all at the moment

They are all pretty sweet looking but the shinobi seems to be sticking out at me now (forgot about this case)

Yeh there are some nice cases that are kind of 'under the water' and not really known or forgotten about there, real nice.

I recently got the Shinobi myself [the black one] and its great.

It is very cheap and is made out of cheap materials but well made and has a very very nice style and you cant really tell its cheap from the outside. [the inside is very well laid out aswell]

I have modded mine and taken the HDD rack out, emptied the drive bay and put a fan there so air goes straight through the heatsink and out the back and at the bottom fans go straight to the GPU and out the back [modded a fan in the PCI slots]

I also went down the lines at the front where the mesh is and cut most of the little lines holding the front together behind the mesh as there are lots and restric airflow and arent needed, but this case is extremely effortless and easy to mod and I think made so it is, its built well and very sturday but if you want can easily take parts out effortlessly with a hacksaw or knife of standard drill like I said with no effort. real nice case and I love the looks.

And if you get it you may aswell make it how you want it while with other cases they have big HDD bays and other things that you dont need but are a pain and not worht to remove.

But those other cases are very nice and it would be good to have a case that not everyone has

fractal seems very well built one was 2nd hand and was still very well put together everything feels sturdy and weighty all except the rubber grommets
 
I personally would go with the Fractal. They have great designs and are very well constructed. I have a Define XL and you couldn't pay me to use another case. So my opinion might be a little swayed.
