Define R5 vs. Enthoo Pro

[OrangeTrick]

I'm planning a build with these two cases in mind but i can't seem to pick the one that would suit my need and all. The R5 is slightly more expensive from where i'm from and the enthoo pro is a little too big in my opinion, so I just wanna ask on your guys' opinions regarding these two cases and on what I should choose. Thanks

An R4 if it's cheaper.

Both cases are usually around the same, how ever the R5 has more 2.5/3.5 drive support.

I'd say take a look at a 450D as it's also a good case at that price range.

Ironically, the r4 is about 20 bucks more and got me like "whut?!"

Well darn.

Define R5 is a solid case. What about the Define S to save some money?

Well...I don't know. The Define S looks solid but it just doesnt appeal to me. lol

So are you suggesting the R5 over the enthoo pro then?

It's literally a Define R5 with fewer drive cages.....?

Personally, I would go for the R5 just based on looks. ^ - ^

But... it's just a metal box with a fako brushed aluminium  front?

is it brushed aluminum or plastic that looks like aluminum?

It's plastic, my mistake.

I need the drive cages for future expansion of storage though... i dunno. i just feel more comfortable with the drive cages. lol

 

plus the define s does not have external bays

What a box.

If you say that.....then why not take a look at a 750D.

You can always buy more drive cages to add more drives.

Well it's preference and I guess some people like extremely simplistic cases.

It makes my budget over man. It's not as cheap as these two...granted that the 750d is about 30 bucks more, still it's alot to me.

 

Edit: make that 40 bucks more. just checked its price. lol

If you check around sales and stuff, you can sometimes find a 750D cheaper than a 450D.

Looked at prices each day for the 750D to be cheaper than the 450D.......and finally it did.

Define r5 is my choice.

[gill2k]

Throwing the lone vote for the Enthoo Pro... since I just got one myself.  :lol:
