Fractal Design Define R5 vs Define C

[HDMI703]

Thinking of buying a new pc case and i am between the choice of a Define R5 or a Define C

Both would be the windowed models but the R5 has an smaller window and i was thinking that the window is smaller and more to the back of the case that wouldn't it make the window go hidden behind the monitor ?

Which one is more silent ?

Also the Define C is 85 euros but the R5 is 120 euros. Does that big price difference include anything better (except the 5.25 bays) ?

And i was wondering is it normal that my PSU is the loudest fan in my system or i should replace it ?

That price difference just gives you a bigger case and 5.25" bays.
A Fractal Define C is a great choice.
Not unusual for the PSU fan to be the loudest fan in the system, you can't exactly replace them easily though!
Don't worry about it, let it be, not much you can do about it.

Probaly gonna change the PSU fan when warranty runs out but the 5.25 bays are pretty important to me but i can do with an external dvd player but what about the smaller window on the R5 ?

Aha, okay.
Didn't notice there was a window difference, if you really want the 5.25" drive bays get that then, the R4 is also another choice.

What about noise ? Is the R5 better in terms of silence ?

Both are great, not much difference i'd wager.
