to you by nc.com your source for great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western Digital so we're here in the fractal design Suite where Josh is conspicuously absent I'm pretty sure he's drinking so we've got all right you can come you can come in the video now why don't you help us you're actually the only one who has co-hosted a video with me the entire show because of how much taller people are than I am and because was on the first WAN Show before you called it a WAN Show and it was like a garage show so I got way back street cred speaking of the garage look at uh what fractal made apparently in their garage because all they did was took the Define R4 and take the white things and make them black tell us about the blackout Edition Define R4 okay so basically what the blackout Edition is is basically it's a culmination of fan feedback right we are the company that listens and we've gotten a lot of request have an all black interior to go for hold on fan feedback or fan fiction I would say feedback because I've seen it so anyway what we did is we basically went back and we offered a fully black interior uh we wanted to answer what the fans wanted as far as different features and we want to show that we do actually pay attention to what you guys say unless you're us we don't all right so what have you guys actually changed here you've changed the color of the PCI brackets you Chang the color of the hard drive brackets change the color of the fans which actually is kind of impressive because they had to do a custom fan skew fractal design only has black and white fans in order to make this a truly stealth looking product is is it available in a windowed version with like a stealth window at this time it is not actually the window is so

that's how we find out if you don't see something from us that you want let us know we take all that feedback so guys that's the focus of this video is they're not showing off too much because quite frankly if it ain't broke don't fix it the Define R4 is the number one most built-in case in the build log section of the Linus Tech tips forum and for a very good reason so all they could really come up with was well I guess we'll tweak the color a little bit and we'll see how it goes from there but if you guys have any feedback for fractal cases please do leave a comment on the video and let them know because Josh will personally be reading every comment because now that I've said that his boss will make sure that he does yeah there goes my weekend I appreciate appreciate that I might get to Assassin's Creed 4 sometime next year but you know we do listen and read and do homework thanks to lonus speaking of fractal design fans there are no shortage of Boutique system builders that are using fractal design cases these days because again guys if the uh if the experienced builders on the lineus tech tips Forum use them then experienced Boutique Builders also know that the Define series is a pretty rocking series of cases so this is a Define R4 this is is from velocity micro you can see they've got some nice little velocity micro branding on the front other than that they keep
