Fractal Designs Define R3 Chassis Review

When selecting the perfect chassis to serve content to the audio/video stack a different set of attributes is required than what is typically demanded from a home theater PC (HTPC) enclosure. The ideal server must be able to scale to support multiple hard drives, keep everything cool and not sound like a shop-vac in the process. With eight 3.5" hard drive trays, seven fan mounts, sound absorbing material included and a convenient layout Fractal Designs' Define R3 enclosure looks good, and has the specifications to warrant consideration.
