Fractal Design has given the Refine R4 a makeover and the result is the Refine R5. If you judge a book by its cover the R5 may not impress you as it looks pretty much identical to the R4 but once you get inside the case you'll find it is all change. The m...

The case feet give the Define R5 a fair amount of clearance, and are also rubber soled, meaning the case also has good grip on any surface. There's a single big dust filter on the bottom too, which covers both fan mounts and the PSU. Unlike before, this...

In most ways the Define R5 feels like a very natural evolution of the Define R4. The launch price is effectively the same, so we have few complaints here. The £90 price tag for the windowed version does look a little steep (and you'd lose a fan mount), bu...
