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!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I bet he did. Nice and roomy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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

Of course. He headbutts everything though so it's nothing special

[–] Braindead 9 points 1 month ago

Proper orange braincell coz he managed to actually dent the cardboard

Open it, Thorin needs to get in there asap!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

(I have their Meshify XL case.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The Define is such a good case.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Just looking forward to sleeping in the box.

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

I hope not. We already have a serious mouse problem as it is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That case is what my main server sits in.

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.

[–] kogasa 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

You can see his one brain cell working overdrive

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thorin has my respect for building his own machine.

I hope he saves the box for you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

He has good taste, that's a quiet tank.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You must tell him

That I love him.

Where did you find this ancient model? The current ones are Define 7. Haven’t seen this one being sold anymore.
