Inside The Ostrog GT
Two front-mounted four-drive cages support 3.5” hard drives, and a smaller cage behind them holds two 2.5” drives.
Ostrog GT Cable Management
A large CPU cooler support plate access hole dominates a motherboard tray that also features several rolled-edge cable access holes.
An extended side panel adds huge cable stowage behind the relatively narrow motherboard tray offset.
Ostrog GT Induction
The face panel snaps away for easy cleaning, revealing two lighted 140 mm intake fans.
A separate lead goes to the lighting switch, though standard fans without the switch lead can also be installed.
More Ostrog GT Dust Prevention
The Ostrog GT’s power supply and bottom fan mount filters are removable, though holding tabs make the process somewhat tedious.
Adding a fan to the bottom necessitates removing the 2.5” drive cage, though you can relocate 2.5" storage inside of the hard drive bays.
Ostrog GT Drive Support
A cage that holds the top four 3.5” drive bays can be removed from the Ostrog GT, extending maximum card length in slots one through six to 16.2 inches.
Two sets of mounting holes on the cage’s top and bottom allow repositioning of the case’s 2.5” drive cage.
Flip latches allow external 5.25” devices to be quickly installed and removed.
Rosewill R5
Side panel CPU, GPU, and hard drive vents highlight Rosewill’s R5 ventilation, while removable face and top filter panels add convenience.
Though mostly modern in design, a faux 3.5” bay beneath the real 5.25”-to-3.5” adapter inspires us to party like it’s 1999.
R5 Ports
A single USB 3.0 port updates an R5 top panel that also features traditional USB 2.0 and eSATA ports. Headphone and microphone jacks are found between these, and an analog fan controller is situated behind that top-panel I/O.
All of those features face straight up, encouraging floor-standing or bottom-shelf case placement.
Behind The R5
Four grommets allow pass-through for the lines of two external liquid coolers, while a single 120 mm exhaust fan removes heat from a motherboard’s CPU space.
External liquid cooling support is especially useful in a case that, by having only the traditional seven expansion slots, doesn't support a dual-slot air-cooled graphics card mounted in the motherboard’s bottom slot.
Inside The R5
Six hard drive trays and four optical drive bays dominate the R5’s interior, though noise-reducing foam on the power supply mounting hole is a nice surprise in the sub-$100 market.
R5 Cable Management
Moderate offset of the motherboard tray leaves barely enough room for a thick 24-pin ATX power lead, while flaps on cable passage grommets help to conceal cabling.
A row of ventilation holes beneath the rear exhaust fan highlights its 120 mm to 140 mm upgrade capability.
