Most of the main features of this case wouldn't even make sense at the mini-ITX size... it could definitely be argued that their Nano S could use an update - I'd like to see a new version with a PSU shroud, tempered glass sidepanel, and maybe a vertical main PCI slot (the GPU wouldn't be airflow choked since that mount could be centered in the middle of the case in such a configuration).
@SuWoopSparrow6 жыл бұрын
Robo, the Define series looks clean, while maintaining good airflow. Other cases at this price point and higher than have "clean" looks choke your system. Also, Fractal doesn't waste their time on RGB, which many people prefer.

@waffle9116 жыл бұрын
Putting a vertical GPU below an mITX mobo would need an almost full-height case anyway; what you'd want is a Node 202 with a vented acrylic window if you wanted to not completely defeat the purpose of mITX's compact form factor. To take advantage of the reduced height requirement of mITX like in the Nano S, you'd vertically mount the GPU in front of the mobo and use a CPU liquid cooler in the limited space between the two boards. The five biggest updates from the R6 I'd like to see on the Nano sitting on my desk now are the PSU shroud, tool-less quick-release side panels, tool-less tempered glass, and push-button modu-vent with removable fan/rad bracket. I wonder if that front panel IO upgrade can be retrofit to older cases like the Nano? My IO now is limited to only two USB 3.0 and audio jacks that sound like shit (EMI? Damaged header cable? Poor audio feed from mobo sound circuit to AC93 header?). Although, I suppose mITX doesn't really have enough room for the additional headers to take advantage of more IO. Oh! Come to think of it, the chunky USB 3.0 header cable is cumbersome and bent at an uncomfortable angle because on my mobo the header is directly obstructed by my Noctua HSF, which has only enough height clearance for standard height RAM modules. And it's blue instead of black, so it sticks out visually if it's not completely obscured like it is in my configuration.

that's kinda how I feel about my define C. I mean, I don't really feel like I'm missing out on MUCH, but the ease of removal/looks of the side panel, the extra space for upgrades, and all the little upgrades/features just make this case pretty lust inducing for me.
@tigerd75286 жыл бұрын
It is much more expensive than Define S. I got the S for $60. I wouldn't pay over $100 for a case.
@BenjaminWagener6 жыл бұрын
I didn't take the Define S because it's so inexpensive, but because of it's open space and the 140mm-fans. The Define C was to small for my taste and the R5 crammed with things I don't need. So the Define S was the logical compromise at that moment in July. I'm willing to pay more than 100 bucks for a case, if it is really worth it. And Fractal Design cases are worth every cent of their price imho.

@tuxpowerpc6 жыл бұрын
Damitri, you are the reason a chose and love the Define series cases. After a number of years away from building PC's, I decided to build my 2013 system in the Define R4 because of your excellent reviews. That said, I updated the R4 to and R5 and built a second system in another R5. That case had many improvements I thought were important when I had the R4. The only real complaint, the door seems cheap compared to the magnetic R4, and it squeaks when opening. Other than that, I noticed what I thought was a significant improvement in airflow on the R5. As for the R6, I typically do not water cool, and I do use at least one to two 3-1/2" storage drives, so a shroud cover extension would be a nice option if no deck fan were in place. BTW, I do use a fan on the deck. As for this case, I think its one of, if not the best mid-tower case on the market. Especially if you like silence as I do. Thanks for your excellent reviews. P.S. One more feedback note, why do they always have the door swing left by default? If you have glass to show off the interior, most users I would think prefer right swing. Just saying.

I'm really willing to see the modular drive caddy mounting system to be a thing within the next year or two. This is a pretty intuitive way of organising your storage drives without having to take up as much space top and bottom if you're using mainly 2.5" storage drives. I am also so glad to see that Fractal Design cares about people who prefer and require a 5.25" drive. Even the implementation of the TG panel isn't as obnoxious.

I think Define cases are just something really safe and refined. If you are looking for ATX to E-ATX system, it will pretty much accommodate anything you want to do with it. It might not be the best or most unique looking, but it's always really good looking. And it's case that is pretty much 100% future proof to match any future builds. If you are looking for mid to full tower case and can't decide, Define is always the place to go. Now that they have meshified version of this case, you also have high airflow version that's equally pretty. I just hope that they lengthen their compact ATX cases a bit so it can accommodate longer GPUs, especially now that new generation has come from nvidia.

If I were to do this, would I still have the clearance to install a 120/140 mm fan at the bottom of the case nearest to the front? I am considering installing the fan at the bottom as an intake to help try and create a positive pressure system.

As an owner of the Define S, I applaud the new finer dust filters. Mine were so useless, the case looked like a snow storm inside a week. I switched them for magnetic ones very shortly after. And since I don't use the top vents, I wouldn't be annoyed with the IMHO horrible looking modvent. The modular inside looks awesome, you basically get a Define S (with a 5,25" slot) and an R series in one case. I wouldn't buy a TG version, but it finally has a nice window, without the horrible screws. Awesome video, very nice case.

Is there something about USB type-c that makes the connector expensive? I doubt it as it is on cheap devices, and other cases that don't all cost more than this one. Making you buy it as an extra, and go through the hassle of replacing all the internal wiring, and throw away the old panel (what a waste of money, and materials/manufacturing), seems completely ridiculous, specially from a company that gets as much right as Fractal. Why not just include the damn thing as standard? It's one connector.

You are replacing the whole front panel I/O, And all that wiring is expensive

They were probably too late in the manufacturing to just change the design on the fly, so they had to settle for a replacement part for those, that truly want it. It takes a lot of time, y'all.

qwormuli Type C ports have been around for a while. To have it however they would have to pay a license fee. It in the grand scheme of things the fee is not huge, but in that price range it would be enough to cut into their margins. So, if you want it you (most users probably don't care) have to pay extra.

Ahhh I love this! I purchased the R5 around this time last year, and I absolutely love my case, the customization and clean design. This just goes above and beyond such an already awesome case! I won't be switching cases though, but it's good to know that if I wanted to, Fractal Design didn't stray too far and kept the design clean and simple.

In terms of practicality yes

In versatility, yes. Practically? Not really considering the footprint, both are great cases. Price? P400TG win. Depends on your application, needs much watercooling space? Then this case for you, if not then P400TG is fine for 240mm rad configuration.

Yes its better, but it's much more expensive so it's not a surprise.

I always enjoy your case reviews they are always clear and concise. I don't mind spending another $30.00 for USB C but I have to say that even thou the power supply shroud is the trend, I really like to show of my power supply along with the cable management. Vertical mounting looks so awesome and I really wish they set the mount back a bit further or come up with a better solution to make it more usable. Changing subjects what are your thoughts on the Intel Optane 900 specifically which form factor do you like better? Why doesn't every one offer front filters that seems so simple yet logical? It will soon be time to retire the sandy bridge hello Icy Lake! I also liked the R5 individual covers on the top for fans as opposed to one giant cover. Well done Fractal well done!

Oh frickin' yes, FINALLY Fractal Design has a Define case that isn't just a slightly larger, tiny bit altered version of the previous (reminder, R5 was as far as I remember the first to have the front door swing the "correct" way). The R6 is so revamped and sufficiently different from the R5 that I will accept it being called a new model. Congratulations, Fractal Design. You have finally done a good job.

Thanks to all your reviews I've decided this r6 to be the best choice for my purpose and there is nothing, really nothing to complain about this case. Installation, convertibility, cooling and space is absolutely awesome. Same goes for the quality of the materials. If anyone is looking for a midi as a storage server take this one. I had other goals though. Greetings from the "PC silencer" .
