    Looks like Thorin wants you to open that up so he can claim his box!

        And I hope you love the case! I also used a Define R5 for my most recent build, a couple years ago. It’s solid!

      Yeah, that cat doesn’t give half a fuck about your case he’s just waiting for it to vacate his fort!

      it could use a couple of peepholes and an escape hatch. Otherwise, a solid fort.

    Thorin has excellent taste in cases. And in boxes. All-in-all, a remarkable cat.

    (I have their Meshify XL case.)

      Got mine last fall. Fell in love with the Meshify 2 XL and it is by far my favorite build. A coworker showed me this company years ago and I agreed with him. I said whenever I build a new one I will buy one. It’s perfect.

        I’m running a media server with 90 TB of storage across a bunch of drives. Having a case that can handle 16 full-sized drives, plus 4 SSDs is a game changer.

    A Feline purrR5? How is it? Did you get a mouse as well?

    Hey, I have an older version of the same case. Very solid choice.

      Same, an R4 with an i5 4670k I built in grad school. It’s my ham radio computer now, as happy running Debian as the day I built it.

    Where are you guys getting your cases?

    Last time I was shopping the biggest one on the site had exactly 3mm of clearance for my GPU, and it wasn’t even a particularly good card.

      Fractal makes a few good cases, OP’s being one of them. The Define series is more about low volume + high capacity than airflow. All of their cases should have GPU clearance specs so you can tell if you have enough space before buying

    I have the same case, so naturally it’s an excellent choice you made

    Thorin has my respect for building his own machine.

    I hope he saves the box for you.
