Sleek design with tempered glass panels, has a hidden compartment to organize all your wires

Hot swap drive bays9 of them

Well constructed, great build quality Excellent modularity easy to work with Very configurable Extremely sturdy

Its like a fish tank thats light with lots of room and easy to disassemble/assemble

-spacious -easy to work on

Easy front panel connections. Looks great. Front panel is at the bottom.

Very high quality materials, very good design, great cable management (like the best I've ever seen) options. (Don't get a Shift PSU with this. I mean, you can, but it will hurt more than it helps. I've got one, no regrets, really, but, well, you'll see what I mean if you get one.) The built in monitor is *amazing*. It simply is. But it really needs to be used "correctly," meaning, do something with it besides having it match your other monitor(s)' background.



- plenty of room for cable management - 4 included fans + room for 7 more - power for the fans and their lighting is handled by a single SATA power connector - great airflow for the price - great price - most of the motherboard standoffs are pre-installed

Easy to build in Super heavy duty Thick glass Easy cable management

1000w Edge PSU fits with no problem I like how the bottom fans are on an angle

This case is very tidy to build in. Gigabyte B850M mATX mobo. The caveat is that you need to make sure to get measurements of your parts you put in before you buy them. I was able to fit a Sapphire Pulse 7900XT in this with about 10 mm of space between the bottom case fans. (I used Antec Storm 30mm fans throughout, 6 of them) ATX power supply fit easy, but it was a super flower so they are made a bit smaller. Excellent airflow in this case and temps stay around 45C at idle between the CPU and GPU. Cable management was easy with the space to use under the power supply and cable mounts were placed well. I have maybe 4-5mm of space between the top of the air cooler and the side glass. Playing most games on 1440p high and I can't hear any noise from the case.

Looks good and high quality material.

I've built only a dozen PCs, but this still was one of my favorite cases to build in. I paired my R5 5600X with the white Vetroo V5, which includes an ARGB fan that connects to the controller on the rear side panel of the case, leaving a super clean look with matching colors. Some reviews have reported issues with the ARGB; I believe this may be user error. The controller DOES need to be plugged into a motherboard case fan piece in order to receive power, and the small white circle button DOES cycle through the preset color options when powered on. They look great and there is a decent amount of preset options. I personally love the one shown in the image. The controller has six slots for ARGB fans, with four occupied by pre-installed case fans (3 front, 1 rear). Including my ARGB CPU fan, that leaves one additional, which some may find too few if they're seeking additional fans.


High build quality Great airflow Easy access to everything

Came in on time no damages everything was as it was supposed to be

This case is extremely quiet. Even with all the fans going full blast, my ceiling fan makes more noise than what comes out of my computer, and have to put my ear close to the case to hear them at all. The fans featured in the R5 use hydraulic bearings and it's easy to get more of them, which was a big plus for me, as my primary reason for replacing my existing case was noise from an aging fan that didn't seem to have a viable option for replacement. The built in SATA-powered fan controller works quite well for what it is, though it uses exclusively 3-pin connectors, something to keep in mind if you plan on recycling older 4-pin molex fans. The interior of the R5 is quite spacious and the cable routing is phenomenal compared to many other cases on the market. I was easily able to route nearly all of my cabling behind the motherboard, where the combination of velcro straps and attachment points for the included cable ties proved more than adequate to keep everything neatly organized. The motherboard tray is slightly recessed, which eases some of the issues encountered when routing cables to it from behind. The front side of the case is also quite spacious, easily able to swallow even the largest graphics cards without issue. It makes my GTX 970 look downright small. The hard drive cages are modular and easy to reconfigure or even remove entirely. Most things that you might require regular access to are held in place via thumb screws, some of which I was pleasantly surprised to find, are designed to loosen without coming completely out of the component they're meant to secure. The machining is excellent and I had no issues loosening and tightening things in the case. Even the slide-out hard drive trays are metal, and the included rubber gaskets effectively eliminate any noise the drive might have previously made. Air intake for the R5 is via the front and bottom of the case, with removable dust filters on both. Being able to remove both of these from the front, and without taking anything apart, is a *huge* plus, especially if you have pets. The bottom air intake extends all the way to the back of the case, allowing you to install the power supply with the fan facing down. This configuration conveniently puts the cables of most non-modular power supplies right next to the bottom grommet, and improves airflow to your graphics card. The exterior of the case is a pleasant matte black, which combined with its nondescript styling and shiny chrome feet lends it the feel of something that belongs in your living room, or at the very least something that will easily blend into the background, despite its size. The sound reduction 'foam' doesn't really look like a foam, but nonetheless does its job well, even dampening the sound of the metal it's attached to. Everything about the case feels sturdy and well put together, even the plastic pieces. The door on the front is easily reversible, and doing so is a straightforward process.

-Neat Classical design: NO LED and NO windows, noise dampening - Thank you Fractal Design!! -Compact (slightly smaller than regular mid-tower case) -Excellent cooling (top panel can be replaced with mesh, large front intake) -USB type-C on the front panel -Solid build quality -Excellent manual.
