  2. Timothy L.

    Pros: Of the many cases I’ve used, my favorite to this point was the Fractal R4. This beats that case slightly. It is clearly an iterative rather than dramatic development, though that is great with something not broken. My build is extremely quiet. Everything in the case was easily accessible, and the small internal redesign and new rubber linings (which don’t shift every time I push something through!) around the access points to the back of the motherboard tray made cable routing very…

    Pros: I liked the R4 so much on my last build I went with this R5. Lots of reviews out there showing details. LOVE IT. Plenty of room for components and water cooling, dual SLI, and very neat cable routing. I like how the side panels sort of hinge from the front when removing, big improvement over aligning all the tabs on the top and bottom and sliding it forward. I like the latch also on the side, it is a latch and pops right open when you push the latch. Also, the SSD drives can be mounted…

  4. Tammy M.

    Pros: Surprisingly good air flow, even with Moduvents installed. It is a lot quieter than my old Haf 912. Tons of room for water cooling and fan installation. Motherboard mounts line up perfectly. Rear SSD mounts are very useful. HDD cages are removed extremely easily. Everything about this case screams sophistication! Cons: Side panel scratches easily. I wish they would have made it out of glass and not acrylic. I received a scratched side panel from them and, thinking it was dirt, I tried…

  5. Matthew M.

    Pros: Minimalistic design Roomy interior Heavy steel panels (if you like that sort of thing) Deadly silent fans. I find these fans more quiet than premium fans. For them to be included as case fans is crazy awesome. I’d buy these fans separately any day. Removeable fan filter for the bottom of the case is well designed and easy to remove and insert without warping. A heck of a lot of fan and radiator mounting options. As interior radiator mounting goes, this case has the most options I’ve…

  6. Stephen G.

    Pros: -Keeps most parts silent even on demanding games such as Starcraft 2, Battlefield 4, and Tomb Raider. -Aesthetically pleasing to look at -Removable HDD trays -Very Sturdy and well made Cons: -This is my 3rd build and I felt like the back could have more space for cable management. -Mine came with a dent in the back of the case. I almost missed it but at least it isn’t big enough to affect the functionality or aesthetics of the case. -Not really a con of the case but coming from a full…

  7. ashley a.

    Pros: No windows, No extra lighting- Perfect for those who remember 2004 with disdain. I don’t need my house looking like a rave anymore. Reminiscent of the beige box of yesteryear with an elegant simplicity and stark white color that fits in the modern home. Perhaps what the Mac Pro could have looked like in a sane world? Tweeks that show case design experience- There were little things that the photos may not have shown you. The front door of the case is reversible for left or right hand…

  8. Tejaswi I.

    Pros: 1. Extremely well thought out design and features. They really thought about everything. 2. Roomy. Love the extra >1″ space behind the motherboard for SSDs, cable management. 3. Love the ability to take out / move disk cages to make space for a longer video card, etc. Fit my Noctua NH-D15 and Sapphire Nitro R9 390 easily. 4. Love the way the disk cages are snappable + face to the side so they are easily accessed … this should be made mandatory for all cases … 5. Cable management is…
