I just upgraded to a 280x, need bigger case now.
any recommendations?

Buying from Lazada budget $100-$150.
I want a good quality case that is easy to work with components and dust free if possible.

Anybody knows the difference ?? like dust filter and stuff.. looks not that important to me tbh xD

Just checked that the casing all about same size.

Fractal R4 & R5. Get black/titanium grey colours. Quality for price you pay for really is no horse run unlike NZXT

r4 r5 r6 only size diff?

Don't think there's an R6.

R5 (2014) is the newer model, features some minor improvements over the R4 (2012). Never owned the R4, but read that it was already a very solid case. Some of the improvements:

R5 Advantages:
Better front intake design (more open, less restriction).
Reversible front door.
Less restrictive front filter.
Filter for the entire bottom (and it pulls out from the front).
More open HDD cages.
SSD brackets.
Removable ODD bay.
New fans.
Fancy new moduvents.

R4 Advantage:
Cheap (I've seen blackout as low as $70 in the last couple weeks).

Hmm, it feels fine to me. Maybe R4 to R5 owners can tell the difference. In any case, I'd rather have a flimsier hinge that can swap sides, than a fixed one, cos my case is placed on the left of the desk.
