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 Tawan Piyawan ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

In general, I liked the body. I wanted silence - I got it. The computer is now at an acceptable noise level. There is noise, but no longer annoying. I wrote to their technical support (in English) about the problem with the ports, and to my surprise they immediately offered to send a replacement for the broken audio port, asking for some proof. They sent from Sweden in a week by priority mail not just an audio port (which I was going to solder), but a new complete audio-kit with a reobas and a reset button and wires. Pleased with this kind of customer service.

Pros
  • Good design; the noise level suits (provided the processor fan is switched to Silent mode); it was very convenient to install components; good enough to hide cables; The fan speed control is very helpful when you want to watch a movie in silence. Good tech support.
Cons
  • The poor quality of the front ports, the headphone output lasted only 2 months, although I only poked it 10 times. I had to remove the contact with a needle. Two days later, he again entered the niche and again one channel fell off! For this, a well-deserved minus to the assessment (minus corrected, details in the comment). Very fine dust flies freely through the filters and settles inside the case.
