I am looking to buy a case for my computer, and I would like it to have somewhat silent performance,an optical drive bay and a windowed side pannel for around $100. I have been looking at both the define R5 and the Enthoo Pro, but the enthoo pro is sold out everywhere. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan

Like I said, the R5 would be a very worth-it upgrade compared to the R4 since it has everything good about the R4, makes them better (better airflow and cooling, better silence features) and adds more features (screws that stay on, completely customizable HDD brackets, adjustable door swing).
IMHO, the extra $30 will be well spent on the extra features of the R5. Go for it man.

The R5 is pretty much the best case out there when it comes to balancing out the silence:cooling ratio. You'll get a dead quiet PC with good temps if you go with it. It's also a mid tower so you save a lot of space around you.

I haven't heard that many reviews about the Enthoo Pro anywhere though...

Wait, do you already have the R4?
If so, then there's absolutely no need to get this as you'll only get minimal upgrades to it.
If not, then the extra $30 spent would be worth it as it is does have the better cooling and expanded customizability.

The R5 was built to be better than the R4 in the first place so you probably won't regret getting it over the cheaper one.
