Fractal are well known for their beautiful R4 chassis, understated and silent with plenty of room for great components.

When we got out hands on the Fractal Define R4 with window we wondered how they they would maintain such quiet performance with a window in as this normally isn't the best idea with sound proofed chassis.

Turns out they've done it in a couple of ways.

Firstly the window itself is lined sound dampening foam and with the chassis they included a built in 3 speed fan controller + 2× Fractal R2 Silent fans

The R2 silent fans are really popular, I was a little surprised to see them included free with the chassis and I'd certainly recommend them for any quiet build and they have the bonus of being awesome looking – sleeved cables with eleven white blades in a black casing with rubber screws included for reducing vibrations and further decreasing the noise level.
