Pros
Pro Repels dust
Along the entire bottom is a slide-out dust filter. It can be pulled out from the front and cleaned helping to keep dust outside of your build.
Pro Sleek design
The R5 goes for the minimal look, and it nails it. There isn't even any branding on the exterior. Both sides are completely flat slates, and the minimalist design is only broken on the top with I/O up front and 3 removable panels (for cooling solutions).
Pro Very quiet
The R5 is lined with a sound-resistant material, which helps keep sound low.
Pro 9 total fan slots
There are 2 included fans - Fractal Design Dynamic GP14 fans rated at 1000RPM. There is 1 located in the front, and 1 in the rear.
In total, there 2 are fan slots in the front, 1 in the rear, 3 on top, 2 in the bottom, and 1 on the side. These provide plenty of options for fan placement.
Pro Plenty of room for water cooling
There is enough room for a 420mm radiator in the top, as well as room for a 360mm radiator in the front.
Pro Extremely customizable layout
All of the internal shelving is removable, meaning you aren't limited to putting certain components in pre-determined spots.
Pro Easy to build in
The case is large, which means there is lots of room to build and route cables. You also won't be restricted much by size, meaning you won't have to prioritize size over cost or performance. There are virtually no sharp edges that could cut corners (or fingers).
Pro Plenty of cable management options
The case is large, and leaves plenty of space for cable management. There are plenty of cable tie points on the inside which is a welcome addition.
Pro Very solid construction
The interior of the case is extremely ridged, which is needed because the windowed side doesn't offer any structural support. It doesn't flex, and feels sturdy.
Pro Ready for liquid-cooling
On top of the case there is room for a liquid cooling radiator (up to 360x140mm), and near the top of the rear of the case there are holes for cooling hoses.
Pro Tons of cooling available
3 AF140L fans are included, with room for 4 additional fans. The included fans have 'silent' and 'performance' modes to best suit your needs.
Pro Shows off the internals
The full-side window lets you see into your PC, and also allows quick access (the window has hinges that open to grant access to the internals).
Cons
Con Top panels are almost required
It's best to keep the 3 top panels right where they are - removing them will greatly increase the noise output of the machine, as well as break its dust-seal.
Con Heavy
At 11.2kg, this is a very heavy case.
Con Some parts are hard to access
There's a stand on the bottom of the case (perfect for a liquid cooling radiator) that can't be unscrewed while inside the case (the front panel of the case blocks the screws).
If you intend on connecting some of the cages, be warned that the paint will flake off easily. This making adjusting the internals of the case more difficult.
