Brand new Fractal Design R5 cases - if you really need a 5.25 bay or two, probably one of the best cases you can get. No doubt due to be replaced soon, but surprisingly Maplin seem to be cheapest at the moment.
Non-window versions for £80.99
Windowed versions for £85.99
Take your pick of any colour. Prices include free delivery. Only seems to be available online and not instore.

Best case ever...mind you it is incredibly heavy.

Great case but too big + heavy for my liking. Sound deadening +1.

Got the windowed R4 and it's one of the best purchases. Had a problem with my hard drive being loud but after getting this I can't hear it at all.

I have 2 R4 cases and are the bees knees as far as I am concerned, as I used 1 for my NAS box with 9 drives

Maplin is 4.2% cashback for online purchases via topcashback (or you can register for 4% instore topcashback oncard cashback).
4.2% cashback would be £3.40 from the £80.99 or £3.61 from the £85.99

I've got the R2 XL and it's a fantastic case, really easy to build with, nice and quiet, dust filters in all the right places.

Hmmm, the R5 isn't *THAT* new and it's been plenty cheaper elsewhere (was down as low as £65 I think). That said - brexit wobbles etc. This IS the cheapest price I can find for it at the moment.
It IS an excellent case. I strongly believe there's few cases that:
1) aren't huge
2) are simple and tasteful
3) that can take such a large amount of water cooling equipment.
The front bays can be basically removed (and alternative places used for mounting drives) leaving space for a large, thick 280mm radiator on the front and thinner 420mm in the roof. All that while still having a good chunk of the sound dampening material in action. You can get up to a 280mm in the roof without removing all the drive bays if that matters :smiley:
You COULD shoehorn twin 360/420mm in there at a push with a little tinkering. Excellent case. Food for thought
