Review on Fractal Design Define R5 - ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - High Airflow and Silent Optimized - Includes 2x Dynamix GP-14 140mm Silent Fans - Water-Cooling Ready - Black by Ryan Hoover

I have had Antec 300 for more than 10 years. It's such a great cause and I've been campaigning for it for years. It's gone through three builds/major updates but is definitely showing its age. When I installed my RTX 2070 Super graphics card, I actually had to cut out a small section of the HDD cage to fit it. For this last build I decided it was time to use a new case. The "calm" aspect of it caught my attention. My desktop is in my bedroom that doubles as an office and my current computer was very noisy (fan noise). I ordered this case and a pair of 120mm silent fans. When I assembled everything (I just added one of the extra fans) and ran it, I couldn't believe how quiet it was. The first week I went into the room and I was sure that it wasn't working because it was very quiet there. Wonderful. Overall I like it very much. Nothing bad to say about it. Since I don't have 5.25" drives, I pulled out this basket leaving only one HDD basket to keep the inside nice and clean. Plenty of room to hide cables and keep everything open for airflow. about 60 * C when playing. The CPU temperature is around 30°C when idling and 65°C when gaming. Under load, you can hear the fans spinning up, but the noise is still very low.
