The editors didn't like
None
SSD trays may have power connector problems
Front I/O mounted to front panel
Only one (1) hole for front panel cables on motherboard tray
Needs to include one more 140 white fan in the front
ModuVent system not so great for me (somewhat complicated fastening)
For some a door is a con
But not for me
I like the front of the case clean
Removable 5.25″ bays feel like a missed opportunity to do more
– SSD “stealth” mounts interfere slightly with cable management.
Somewhat heavy
Air vents covers could be more modular
Velcro strips are a bit basic
Not the best use of space on the floor of the chassis when it comes to HDD-cage mounting
Dust filter in the front may not stay in place too well

Fractal Design has given the Refine R4 a makeover and the result is the Refine R5. If you judge a book by its cover the R5 may not impress you as it looks pretty much identical to the R4 but once you get inside the case you'll find it is all change. The m...

Well priced, Great construction quality, Silent and Great Airflow, ODD Bay and Drive Cage Removability, Dust filters on all fan intake areas
Lacks mounting locations for reservoirs and pumps for liquid cooling, Didn't take full use of the space beside the PSU by adding another HDD cage, Slightly heavier,

There are 2.5″ drive bays at the back, speaking of which I'll need to show you what's behind the tray. And so this is it, it has a huge cutout and it has cables neatly strapped in place. What Fractal Design could've improved on this one is to have the cab...
