i'm looking at these two cases, and i've heard they're really meant for watercooling, especially the define s. are they worth getting if i don't watercool?

I'd argue the r5 is geared for silence above all else.
Yea it's big & heavy but its well built, looks great & is about as quiet as it gets.

In all fairness if I were water cooling it would be one of the last cases I'd use personally.

To be honest I currently have the Define R5 and although its a great case it is very large and heavy. The only reason I bought it was for watercooling so I personally would not go for the Define R5 if I was not water cooling.
