Fractal Design Define R5 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

 

The Fractal Design Define series has been one of the corner stones of

the chassis industry for years now. Fractal Design have always been

known for the exceptional build quality, silent performance and bold

looks; although this much is true of almost all the chassis' that

Fractal Design produce. With that in mind, I'm very excited to have

their latest iteration at my disposal today, the Fractal Design Define

R5; the latest flag-ship chassis from the legendary Swedish

manufacturer.

 

The Define R5 has been a long time coming, it was just over two years

ago that I reviewed the Define R4

. As much as I love the Define R4, two years is a long time and PC

hardware has already changed a lot in that time; it will be

interesting to see how Fractal Design have tweaked and improves the

design to reflect that.

 

The Define R5 comes equipped with two 5.25″ drive bays, eight

2.5″/3.5″ bays and two 2.5″ drive mounts behind the motherboard;

there's no doubt that this chassis can handle a lot of

storage. You'll find room for mini-ITX, Micro ATX and most

importantly, ATX motherboards. Combine this with room for graphics

card of up to 310mm with the hard drive cages installed, or 440mm with

them removed, up to 35mm of cable routing space, PSUs of up to 300mm

and a whole lot more; the Fractal Design Define R5 is certainly

capable of housing an ultra high-end system.
