[DEAD]Fractal Design R5 $69.99 / Define S $49.99 / Define C $44.99 Newegg

Up to $80 but still great price. I just paid $140 for the R6, and while it is excellent and almost completely silent, I wonder how much better it is than the R5 ...

It's still $69.99. You have to put in the promo code for the $10 discount. Code: EMCPRRW24

I own two of the R5s, and they have never come off on me. And I am constantly opening and shutting my front door when doing F@H. I don't have any experience the R6, but I'll probably get it once they go on sale ($150 is too much IMO).
 
The tool-less SSD mounting brackets behind the motherboard are a great feature. How often would you find that in cases these days?

It's getting more common, but the problem with putting them back there is the lack of airflow. My SSDs ran about 10-12c hotter in that location. They are basically wedged behind the motherboard and panel insulation.
 
I have the Define S, debating selling it since I just replaced it with a more of a show-off case (Thermaltake View 31)... but it was such a nice case I might try to find a use for it. If all Fractal cases are as nice as the S, I'd recommend them without a doubt.
