The Fractal Design Define R5 case is excellent. It is the perfect mix of good airflow and sound proofing. I am a huge fan of its muted style. Nothing flashy, just quality. I upgraded from the Define R4 for my new build and I would confidently say that the R5 improves on everything.

Workspace inside the case is great and even better if you remove the hard drive trays. I had no troubles building in it.

The dust screens on the front and bottom are simple to remove for easy cleaning.

This is an amazing case. Love it.
Building a new 1950x Threadripper PC into it. I have a lot of HDD's, and this is perfect since they are all side loaded into this case (it's a wide case). Nice quick-connect/deconnect tray supplied for each drive bay. Your lucky to get any drive trays with most other case makers!
Both sides of the case open easily so when a drive is inserted, the connecters are easy to get too from the other side.
Can't really call this a gaming case, more like a production case since it can hold so many drives. Gamers I know have very little use for high TB multi-drive systems. I don't play games on PC's, so this IS a production case for me.
Fractal Design cases are the case of choice for the foreseeable future!
Note: I doubt this will hold E-ATX motherboards. Based on a quick measurement, the boards would butt right up against the drive bays. And the way the case has a bend inside, the edge of the E-ATX would overlap and rest on the ledge near the drive cages, which wouldn't be a good idea.

This is the best case I have ever owned. Very well designed robust case with multiple, easy to remove (singley or in groups) drive bays, that even have rubber cushions to reduce shock. Lots of room to work on all aspects of a build with multiple installations and wiring for extra fans. Power supplies have alternate positions for mounting. Wiring harnesses have routing slots. Easiest case to work on inside. Costlier and with more options than I needed, but well worth the cost. If one is considering internal RAID drives this is the case for it. Check out the specs to determine if it is right for you.

Excellent system case, one minor issue
Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
I got this case for a home server and overall I like the way everything is thoughtfully put together. There's even room on the bottom of case for more intake fans for extra airflow. It comes with two 1400mm fractal design DC fans which are very quiet seeing as they max out at only about 1000 rpm. I ended up replacing them with Noctua's however for more airflow. The biggest problem is the that my Seagate Exos drives rattle pretty badly in their HD tray assembly. I think the issue is that the Exos like to hop up and down and the cages don't have anything to stop that causing a lot of rattling. I eventually tossed out the HD cages and built my own out of popsicle sticks and noise immediately went away. Also got 3c better cooling since my homemade cage is more open. Probably the only disappointment of this case, otherwise everything else is awesome.

Using this for a home server / NAS. Removed the optical drive cage and dropped in an after market conversion cage: 3 x 3.5” drives in tbe space of the 2 x 5.25” optical drive area. So I have 11 x 3.5” drives plus an NVMe M.2 boot drive.

Running Windows 10 with StableBit’s DrivePool software. Far easier than RAID and safer.

So easy to route cables, plenty of room for many fans. Hard drive cages are movable. Multiple options for popping open vent areas. Just a fabulous case.

Replacement for my 15 year old case. It is even better in quality than the Thermaltake it replaces
Reviewed in the Netherlands on July 7, 2022
Verified Purchase

The reason why I post this review is to correct some of the negative comments (reviews) I read.
8 Motherboard standoff screws are included (ATX has 9 holes), because the MoBo positioning pin occupies the middle hole.

I have one small issue. The case comes with 2 fans with only 2 pins, which means it has no speed control. All my other fans have 4 pins and daisy chain connectors, so I can vary RPM per group or single fan. My PC is always powered up, but it seems like it's OFF. It makes no sound whatsoever. Best case ever!

excelente caja de ordenador
Reviewed in Spain on February 7, 2015

La verdad es que el precio es importante, pero esta caja asegura que durante años nunca mas se tenga que pensar en comprar una nueva caja de ordenador.
Las dimensiones de la caja son enormes haciendo que, sea capaz de albergar cualquier tipo de tarjeta gráfica de las enormes, o bien ( como es mi caso ) de contar con un disipador de CPU de grandes dimensiones esto no sea un problema.
LA caja viene además con todos los tornillos que puedas necesitar para montar la placa base, así como cualquier tipo de tornillo que necesitaras para anclar discos duros o fuentes de alimentación.
La construcción de la caja es de una calidad extrema, robusta y de un diseño sobrio con una estética muy bella.
La parte trasera de la caja, en la que irán todos los cables es de una tamañp generoso no presentando problema alguno para pasar por ahí cuantos cables se necesiten sin importar el grosor de estos.

La verdad es que es una compra acertada para toda persona que decida adquirir una caja de una calidad superior.

Acerca de la mitigación de sonido, esta es excelente. Las dos caras de la caja están cubiertas de espuma que mitiga el sonido, los ventiladores que incluye son de una calidad muy buena e incluso a máximas revoluciones son apenas audibles. Sobra mencionar que toda toma de aire en la caja esta cubierta con filtros de polvo haciendo que el mantenimiento de los componentes sea más sencilla frente a el polvo que siempre es una constante en todos lon interiores de las cajas.

Ottimo case
Reviewed in Italy on October 23, 2016

Questo è il secondo cade della Fractal che acquisto, possiedo già un altro Pc inserito nel modello precedente (Define 4R) di cui sono entusiasta.
Il nuovo modello migliora ulteriormente il precedente sotto vari aspetti in particolare ho apprezzato le seguenti migliorie:

vani per Hdd/Ssd ancora più pratici con l'aggiunta dei 2 spazi laterali nella paratia di destra si possono installare fino a 10 unità da 3.5"

copertura superiore smontabile a incastro rende molto agevole l'installazione di varie configurazioni di ventole/radiatori

vano ventole anteriore più pratico nell'accesso alle ventole per manutenzione/pulizia

Led di attività HDD !! nel modello precedente non c'è e non si riesce mai a capire se il disco lavora o meno!!

la cosa che impressiona di questo case è lo spazio percepito e l'ottimizzazione interna!
Nonostante il case sia un Midi Tower quando lo si apre e ci si mette le mani dentro, sembra essere molto più spazioso e di avere a che fare con qualcosa di più grosso, sicuramente merito dell'ottima costruzione e dell'ottimizzazione degli spazi di cui l'hanno dotato.
Per farvi un esempio prima avevo un HAF X della cooler master che è grosso il doppio, ma dentro le periferiche erano "incastrate" peggio, per farci stare gli SSD dovevo usare dei vani doppi e alla fine avevo comunque un SSD a penzoloni fascettato...
qui è tutto in ordine perfettamente disposto nel proprio vano e nonostante l'HAF X avesse un ventola da 30mm anteriore i dischi restano 9/10° più freschi nel Define.

un discorso a parte invece per lo sportello anteriore.
se da un lato apprezzo molto la possibilità introdotta dal nuovo meccanismo di apertura che consente di configurare lo sportello con apertura verso destra o verso sinistra, agendo sui supporti di contro perde quel effetto "WoW" che da la chiusura magnetica sostituita dal un gancio meccanico.
è vero che in questa tipologia di case lo sportello anteriore di apre raramente giusto per usare un cd di tanto in tanto, ma preferivo il dovere fare quella leggera pressione per aprirlo e accompagnarlo solamente per la chiusura, rispetto al clack che fa quando lo apri e chiudi sul nuovo modello, tra l'altro la chiusura richiede una certa pressione o non si chiude adeguatamente.

A livello di prestazioni sono più che soddisfatto, il case non solo rende il pc molto silenzioso ma ha un buon flusso di areazione, nal mio caso ho inserito una ventola da 14mm aggiuntiva nel vano anteriore (una noctua) e nonostante all'interno siano installati I7 4790, 5HDD, 3SSD, 1DVD e una 970 strix il pc rimane molto silenzioso e le temperature basse anche sotto sforzo. (ventole settate su velocità media)
con configurazioni meno esigenti settando le ventole su velocità più basse il pc diventa quasi inudibile.

Io son sempre stato un amante dei case Full Tower da gaming con ventoloni e ampi spazi, ma da quando ho acquistato il Define R4 per fare un server casalingo che rimanesse acceso 24/7 e non desse molto fastidio, beh me ne sono innamorato, linee pulite e sobrie, dimensioni contenute, solido (sembra un blocco di granito) e il rumore... se non fosse per il led blu non mi accorgerei nemmeno che è acceso.

Ecco se proprio vogliamo trovargli un difetto è il peso, il fatto che sia solido come un blocco di granito fa si che pesi quanto un blocco di granito!!
fortunatamente non sposto spesso il case...
