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 Mike Wheeler

I needed a file server case that could hold more hard drives without being bulky. I read several reviews and one mentioned this case. I bought one and I really like it after installing everything and using it for a week. What I like about this case: * Eight 3.5" drive bays * Two 2.5" SSD mounts - pretty standard for a case this size * Plenty of fan mounts - two in front, one in back, 0-3 on top ( Remove the fan mounting plates) and one more size.* The fit and finish is good. No sharp edges. Everything seems to fit together closely. The case does not twist or move*. Cable management is handy for a mid-tower case. As you can see in the picture I can attach ten SATA data cables behind the motherboard/hard drive bay area as well as three SATA power cables. I really can't think of anything wrong, but I want to stress that I'm using this as a file server. I don't even have a GPU, I use the onboard Intel graphics on the rare occasions when I'm logging into the Ubuntu desktop rather than via ssh. If you have a long GPU, you may need to remove one of the 3.5" drive cages. Speaking of which, there are three drive cages, including one for 5.25-inch drives. Everything can be removed, and the 3.5-inch devices can be rearranged in a variety of ways. So if you don't need 3.5-inch drives, you can put AIO or water cooling in their place.
