Perfect
Soundproof case, plenty of space for hard drives, but a bit small if you also want a large graphics card. However, for office work or development without gaming, it's perfect.

Overview
Define R5: the true definition of silence!
Fractal Design's Define R5 is the next step in the evolution of the acclaimed Define series. Its many cleverly designed features for enthusiasts make it a quiet case ready for a powerful and expandable air or liquid cooling system, built with a stunning Scandinavian-inspired design. Want to expand your system with water cooling or additional fans? You can easily change the layout to suit your new needs!
Enjoy optimal cooling
The Define R5 is the quietest case in the computer world, thanks to the dense, strategically placed ModuVent sound insulation material and the finely tuned Dynamic series fans with covers. The R5 has ample space to accommodate large watercooling systems or 180mm high fans.
It is equipped with the new ModuVent 'tool-free' fan slot covers. The user can install additional fans, or cover the slots for maximum sound insulation. The case comes with two 140mm Fractal Design Dynamic GP14 fans, designed to provide superlative airflow with minimal noise. The three-speed fan control is strategically integrated into the front panel and can support up to three fans.
Classy design and engineering
The Fractal Design Define R5 features a rugged design that's engineered to be absolutely silent. The entire case is lined with a highly sound-absorbing material that does not restrict airflow or cooling. A dust cover is installed on the R5. These filters are easily accessible and are located at the front and bottom air intakes.
The front door can be installed with either a right or left hand opening to fit your workspace. This high performance enclosure is available in three colours, black, white and titanium, and is also available in a windowed version. Practical, robust, powerful and ultra-designed, it will satisfy gamers looking for a high-end case.
Adaptability: create the machine of your dreams!
The Define R5 was designed withadaptability in mind. Up to 8 hard drives and all modern graphics cards can be accommodated. Two SSD slots are provided behind the motherboard bracket and offer a "tool-free" installation. The HDD/SSD trays are robust and offer security for your drives, while a new, more open design ensures better air circulation.
The hard drive cage system can accommodate up to eight 3.5" or 2.5" drives. It is more adaptable than ever. The user can change the cage layout as desired, with more slots available. The optical drive cage is easily removable to save space inside. Space can be freed up to improve airflow, to change the location of hard drives or to install additional water cooling components.

very good box
very good case, well soundproofed, well made, you can feel the design has been well done with good materials. a sober but effective result, on the other hand, the fans seem a bit small, i preferred to change them for be quiet 140 mm, it just lacks a bit of mesh to ventilate more. but i don't regret this choice.

Superb case
Good box, still up to date
Positive points:
- Sober
- Spacious, which makes assembly easier (cable management optional)
- Two silent fans included
- And the option of an internal DVD or Blu-Ray player/writer
Negative points :
- The two fans supplied don't ventilate enough, so I had to add a Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 PWM to the front panel
- The front door is useless: if you close it, it blocks the ventilation and the computer becomes noisier.
- Too many internal disk slots, Fractal Design could remove half of them
All in all, a very good case for those who don't like RGB or tempered glass.Review automatically translated -

Fractal design case
Super enclosure for personal TrueNas. Top disc mounting capacity, perfect organisation of discs and cables.
However, the PCIE 6 sata III star-tech card was rubbish. Direct bin, because no trade-in... too rare according to the seller.Review automatically translated
