It's interesting to see how much they promoted this odd design from the R10 onwards, only to switch to a more traditional design. A lot of R&D wasted there...
I think Dell/they realize many users (majority of untapped mkt) are swayed by as big a clear view see through windows as possible in a straight up box, which is the mainstream gaming pc vogue. being cute like the old alien is not going to sell that much so they go out on a limb to see if they can capture more mkt with 16. would not be surprised they may take a step bk to more idiosyncratic chassis design down the rd.

I can’t see an R16 in the pictures? Sad they changed the design though, R15 looks so much cooler. But that’s just my opinion.

If that is an R16 where is the Tron LED?

They should look at more RGB. I use RGB power cables and they provide me an extra 3 FPS on weekends.

@ProfessorW00d The one and only. 24 PIN + 3 x 8 PIN for the video card, on a V2 controller.
I control it with SignalRGB software as that way all RGB is controlled with a single application.

@Vanadiel that should get you an extra 10 FPS 7 days a week . . . you must be selecting the wrong colors!

@ProfessorW00d I have it on "slow mode" pattern. Maybe that is the issue!
