    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 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.

    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.

    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!
