Fractal design define R5 or.....

AxSirlotl

I'm looking for a silent, well-cooled and good-looking case for a gaming PC! I quite like the fractal design define r5 but I don't want to buy it to then realise that there are many better cases for my needs out there. 

 

Thanks, Will.

Define R5 is about as good as it gets really. Both in terms of looks and silence.

I looked at the R5 but I settled on the Define S instead. Linus fucked his video of it up so I'd look at Hardware Cannucks / JayzTwoCents but it's cheaper than the Define R5 and gives me even better layout for Silence, looks (with a bigger window) and an extra fan mount.

Get define s if you're not using a lot of drives, R5 for more drive slots.

What about the Corsair 900d, apparently that's a really good case?

It's huge, expensive and overused (IMO).

 

There's no sound dampening, and it will dwarf most builds unless you do full watercooling.

Don't get the 900D it's over used and over hyped. It's a terrible case for airflow too. Get something like a Define S for airflow or just stick with the R5 if you want something more functional.
