Pros

This case looks classy and runs almost silent. The soundproofing is fantastic. Noise dampening on panels means it is quiet.

The doors on my old case had a groove on the bottom which made opening the sides a breeze. This case is so heavy and solid it's as if it was carved out of solid granite. Imho this case was well thought out and manufactured.

The fractal design define r5 computer box is strong; metal box with trays for six hard drives, etc. Good drive mounting - you could fit an absurd number of hard drives in here. Tons of space for tons of drives and mounting options. The hard drive tray... Read More

Air flow is great - with just the two included 140mm fans, the board and cpu are staying cool. Lots of places to remove panels and put in more fans. Thermals seem pretty good, but i'm not running a high tdp processor graphics card, so it'd probably do... Read More

Quality

My only gripe with this and every case ive owned is the quality of their thumbscrews

First of all the quality is great

If you dont care about the rgbs or showing off the inside

I rip everything in full uncompressed quality

Price

The price is good for what it is and i ran into no complaints while setting it up

Its a bit pricey but in my opinion the case is well worth the price

Packaging/appearance

I mounted an aio radiator on top and removed two of the moduvents

Competitiveness

Its definitely just as quiet as the r6 after nixing the outofbox fans and adding in noctua units

Im not ready to give up my my blueray dvd writer just yet and i have several drives that i use for backups gaming and media servers

Im not into stupid seethrough carnival cases and flashing lights

You may not need a bluray burner
