After having had an "Antec three hundred two" which did the job well, and switching to this "FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE R6 BLACK" is not a problem; quite the contrary. I don't have SATA cables lying around, I might give the 90 degree cables a try - I think they are only a problem if you have the drives too close to each other - like in your case.

We ship all products in unopened boxes directly as received from our manufacturer in brand new and in perfect condition. The push button release for the top vent could be either a little less elaborate or a little more useful, but the fact that that’s the only (very minor) complaint with this case is a point in its favor. If you should receive a product that has been damaged while in transit please reach out to us here within 2 Days and we will certainly be able to address your concerns.Building part was surprisingly dificult as iv’e went from nzxt swith 810 full tower case to this mid size one, on the nzxt was much easy to work with and plenty of space to play, my problems was that i couldn’t fit my nzxt kraken x62 on top of the case having the metal shroud with fractal design logo, so i had to change the setup and move the intake fans on top and the cooler in front of the case pulling air and i was a bit anoyed becouse of that, you can do allot of things with this case, plenty options for setups, logo shroud can be moved in the back, side door can be moved from left to right opening just with twoo screws, top panel you have the option to go for silent or air flow by separate the panel witch is a bit hard do not pull hard as you can bend it from the middle where is a bit thin in that area put a flat screw driver on the gaps and separate them, Overal the fractal design r6 is a good quality case with some dificulties when building inaide compared to my old but still awesome case nzxt 810 switch. Removing the front panel, expectedly, demonstrates that the R6 could run way cooler with an open face -- but we’ll see if the enclosure makes-up for this in acoustic performance, as that is ultimately its marketing objective. If there was any hair from my pets, the front fans would get it before it ever got to the bottom fans, so I had to clear out my front filter a lot more often than the bottom filter. This allows you to acquire a Type-C USB port to give you ultra-fast file transfers and blazing-fast charging properties.

The Define R6 also uses sound dampened steel panels, offers future-proof component support and provides room for numerous storage drives.

With the filter on, air flow had been reduced to just a breeze to barely noticeable, compared to a tornado without the filter. This could change with different fan configurations or liquid cooling, but judging purely by the numbers, Fractal has the advantage. First, you'll want the smallest power supply possible, I re-used Seasonic SS-860XP2 power supply which is 160mm long and it was a tight fit, you can't go any bigger than that, something like Seasonic Focus Gold 650W that is 150mm long would work much better. Even if I had done my experiments on Dorothy as well, I would not have lost data there because Dorothy was on an unaffected version. Despite mostly blocked by the PSU shroud, the bottom 120mm still contributes some airflow - felt it by hand using speedfan to adjust speed settings.

The one downside to the top filter not being a cheap square of mesh is that it is essentially the top of the case and must always be installed, or else there’s just a big ugly hole left behind. If you don’t like the model we have here then you’ll be delighted to know it comes in Black, Blackout, White, and Gunmetal, with or without the tempered glass side panel.
