Needs Another 140mm Fan On The Front, Stock Fans Don't Move A Lot of Air, Quite Heavy For A Mid-Tower Case
The Define R5 has everything you can ask for in an enthusiast case and then some. While the included fans are dead silent, they also don't move very much air. I would have liked another 140mm fan on the front to further improve the airflow. If you are loo...
All said and done, the Define R5 is a stylish and fully functional computer case that should suit all the needs of the average computer builder. With this nearly all-metal frame, the case stands tall underneath my desk, while the door hides away the front...
After I spent several hours disassembling, assembling, reviewing and later testing the case, I believe it is time to express my thoughts on the product. Define R5 performance – Build quality is solid, the chassis is properly designed and there were no fla...
This case is so quiet that you could keep it next to you on your desk. Yes, the way I test these cases is to test their airflow with a passive heatsink. You probably won't do that, but the testing shows that this case will not add to whatever noise your...
Whether you want to cool your beastly gaming rig or just have a silent workstation powerhouse, it mattereth not. Fractal Design not only makes a stunning case in a relatively small package but they do it with style. With tons of bays, spots for fans and o...
I find it easy to write about things that I really like – like this case. It's clear that the Define R5 is a superbly-designed chassis. It offers so much for the money – it is very competitively priced at around $130 depending on where you shop. I real...

If you want a sleek and stylish, silent PC case that has been well designed, definitely check out the Fractal Design R5. There are quite a few improvements over the previous R4, especially when it comes to air and water cooling options. For the price, it...

Somewhat heavy;
TweetValueFractal Design sells Define R5 for about $110. For a windowed side-panel there's an additional $10 premium. Overall, the price is more than decent considering the excellent value. R5 makes its steps into enthusiast territory without ramping up t...
When I was younger, I eagerly awaited Car and Driver's sport sedan comparison test issue, to see whether any competitor had accomplished the rare feat of dethroning BMW's seemingly unbeatable 3-series. As mid-towers go, Corsair's Obsidian 450D is a lot l...
Great Paint Job, Over-engineered in great wayw, Love the shoes, Wire Management is made simple, Tool-less windowed side panel lock is nice, Ease of building is easy on the nerves, One of the best bangs for the buck out there
Needs to include one more 140 white fan in the front, ModuVent system not so great for me (somewhat complicated fastening), For some a door is a con, but not for me; I like the front of the case clean
It is really hard to say anything bad about the Fractal Design Define R5 unless you are true pessimist. While I can say I have my times when I could see bad anywhere most times I like to look at the positive parts for my Reviews. Grandma Law #1 “If you do...
