Abstract: With the R5, Fractal's kept a lot of what made the line popular in the first place, with a clean, modular design that's very easy to work in and noise-dampening material used on the side, front and top panels. What's new is essentially greater modularity,...

After I spent several hours disassembling, assembling, reviewing and later testing the case, I believe it is time to express my thoughts on the product. Define R5 performance – Build quality is solid, the chassis is properly designed and there were no fla...
