The cheaper honestly, they are about the same. If you want more silence get the r5.

Im not a silence freak so i dont really care :)

Get the R5 anyway, awesome case. Never owned one but they look great! I use a Phanteks Enthoo Pro and love it to bits.

I'll probably go with Define S. It's the cheapest and i love the big window at the side :D

Fractal 5 hands down.. the r4 is smaller behind the Mobo and wire management isn't as good as the r5.  The Fractal S was made for water cooling  and I believe it doesn't come with certain cages that the Fractal r4 and r5 has and  was made for silence
