Fractal Design Launches Their Define R6 Case

(Editor's Note: You can read TPU's review of the Fractal Design Define R6 here. The press release follows.)

Designed from the ground up, the Define R6 goes beyond iteration with a profound stride of innovation - the latest and largest step in the legacy of the world-renowned Define Series. Seamless tempered glass and sound dampened steel panels with an elegant push-to-lock latching mechanism encase an entirely redesigned interior with unprecedented component support and storage flexibility. Six 3.5"/2.5" drives and two 2.5" drives can be installed with precision placement in numerous configurations throughout the case.

The spacious and fully adaptable framework of the Define R6 sports nine fan mounts, integrated PWM fan hub and support for radiators up to 420mm, making it the perfect platform for building your dream water cooling loop. Improved third generation ModuVent technology allows an effortless transition from steel-clad sound dampened top panel to filtered high airflow multi-fan ventilation via the new cooling bracket.
Expanding on the timeless, elegant form and silent modular function that brought so much success to its predecessors, the new Define R6 offers the most demanding hardware enthusiast a solid foundation and flexible framework with limitless potential.

Nice upgrade over R5, though its odd not to find USB-C connection out of box, wouldnt have been a problem if it came at a little extra over no Type-C front panel SKU.

Why you say that. It is 100% complete upgrade over R5. You can still have full 11x 3.5" HDD + 4x 2.5" with a 360 loop in front.
