Fractal Design is best known for its silent chassis, whose bitumen-based audio-damping material may add weight to its cases, but boy does it work. The R5 is the latest in this popular series. Side by side with the Antec P380 , the cases are very similar...
A great price for a versatile case...

Tons of viable competition at the sub £100 price point, Very similar to "other" cases on the market in terms of design...
I was really happy when I was offered the chance to review the R5. My only other Fractal case I'd used before was the Core 1000, which is the cheapest case Fractal offered at the time. It just so happened to be a fairly good case for the money. So with th...

Back in the days, when I was on my internship for engineering, my coworkers and I would sit around the table at lunchtime to talk. One topic of particular interest was the web poll results published by the local town paper. "Looks like 67% of the people v...
Since I am building a new PC for use in my university research lab, I am going to demonstrate a completely new build in this review, unlike most of the case reviews we do here at APH Networks. Of course, I was not going to donate my Fractal Design Define...

With the R5, Fractal's kept a lot of what made the line popular in the first place, with a clean, modular design that's very easy to work in and noise-dampening material used on the side, front and top panels. What's new is essentially greater modularity...

The Define R5 is the fifth iteration of what we consider to be the signature case from Fractal Design. In our opinion, the Define R5 is the best ATX case from Fractal Design to date and suitable for any situation from a home server to a heavy duty gaming...
On the low and medium settings, the included 140mm GP14 case fans are barely audible and on high, although you can hear airflow, we couldn't pick out the case fans over other components in the case. There is a difference when all panels and MODUVENT cover...

Could use 510mm more space behind the side panel, You only get eight motherboard standoffs, not nine, More cable tiedown points please, The two cable routing holes at the top of the motherboard tray need to be slightly larger, The USB 3.0 ports on the fro...
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...

PricingThe Fractal Design Define R5 is a premium grade chassis, which means it commands a premium price tag. It will set you back £82.99/$109.99/€104.99 for the standard model, while the window equipped edition will be £89.99/$119.99/€114.99. This is fair...

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...

When it comes to sleek looking casing designs, one could always look for Fractal Design products. I love the Node model that I reviewed before and the Define R5 seems to be one that carries the trait of Fractal Design in its genes.Put it simple, the desig...
There are 2.5″ drive bays at the back, speaking of which I'll need to show you what's behind the tray. And so this is it, it has a huge cutout and it has cables neatly strapped in place. What Fractal Design could've improved on this one is to have the cab...

In conclusion, I will try to be brief. Fractal Design Swedish company released a very, very worthy product. I can not say about the “best of the best”, but Define R5 – a serious competitor on the market buildings that can not be ignored. Quality assembly...
