 Here at hardware sugar, we're no strangers to top-of-the-line enthusiast-grade PC components and nothing quite says top-of-the-line more than the R6-defined case from Fractal Design. We built a handful of 100,000 pesos rig and with that experience, we're inclined to say that all things considered, this might be the very best PC case we have ever laid our hands on. The first thing you'll notice is a very understated monolithic look of the case, no exaggerated angles or aggressive brandings. Next is just how solid everything feels. Every panel is made from thick brushed aluminum with very minimal plastic parts inside. The case looks and feels top-notch. The power button, LEDs, and the abundant IO ports are all laid out on the top front flush with the case. We get two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports and the usual 3.5 millimeter input and output audio jacks. On the sides, we get a tempered glass and the side panel. On the other side, both are mounted to the case via two push-to-lock pegs on top and bottom. Secure but at the same time easy to remove. Almost every vent is lined with sound dampeners, even the sound panel. This provides a nearly silent operation whether you are working or playing. Perfect for professionals like digital artists and sound engineers. Inside, we have a lot of build options available. Layout for the various motherboard form factors is clearly marked with differing mounting positions. The R6 can support up to 6 3.5-inch hard drives and a pair of 2.5-inch drives. 3M options, the drive base for the hard drives are removable along with the cover so you can make room for larger radiators or a cooler reservoir or maybe you just want even better airflow. The case comes with two 140 millimeter intake fans mounted in the front and another one in the back serving as egg sauce. These, along with additional fans, you can connect to the nifty fan power hub included at the side of the case. And indeed for cooling the R6 does not fail to disappoint. There are a lot of options here. Believe me, we counted. We can mount up to 360 millimeter radiators on the top in front and up to 280 millimeters at the bottom. Remember those removable drive base? If we open those up, we can mount a 420 millimeter fan on the top. It's bonkers, man. Crazy. And as if that weren't enough, on the back of the case, you'll see a button that pops off the top panel from outside the case revealing yet another mounting point or again if you just want more airflow. Seven expansion slots are available if you're among the top 1% of the population who needs three-way SLI for their 440 millimeter GPU. The case also features two vertical mounted slots for dual slot GPUs but a PCIe riser cable is needed. PSU is bottom mounted with an opening and a bracket with a PSU plate. The bottom of the case also has a removable filter. For fan filtration, this might be the most robust system on the market. The filters can be cleaned really easily without removing your fans or radiators. Like mentioned before, all the ventilation are sound dampened and filtered including the front panel. That front panel opens up revealing a plastic mesh filter and a single 5.2 inch drive bay. For all of you guys who are still rocking a floppy disk or other removable media. Okay, all of this sounds good but how are the thermals? With a case like this targeted towards keeping noise at a minimum, the expected trade-off would be sub-bar airflow and higher temperatures. But, we are happy to report after testing it out with a mid-range build, actually cooling is also quite good. We tested this case against a similar but less expensive one and the R6 completely blew it away. Adult temperatures saw an almost 8 degree drop to the motherboard, CPU and GPU, while stress tests with Prime95 and the Heaven benchmark also saw similar improved thermals. In conclusion, practical design has always prided themselves on their superior Swedish engineering and with the R6 we really can't blame them, they should take a bow. Building a rig of any configuration in this thing is just so easy and we can't stress this enough. The joy of building your own PC rig isn't entirely about the end product of course, it's about the actual assembly and the tinkering and this case allows that, it makes it truly enjoyable. It spares you the anxiety of wondering whether your parts will fit or they'll perform well or if it's difficult to reconfigure everything later and there's just so much room in this case for everything that you need. Whatever your rig is, this case can house it. Although the aesthetic is not the oh my god gamer PC master race looks, this case has everything every PC user would ever need and want, whether you're an industry professional or just a gaming enthusiast. It's a shame actually that they're a bit difficult to get here in the Philippines and we're happy here in hardware sugar that we make an effort to actually stock it. Just a short side story, we actually got a Facebook inquiry a bit recently where he was looking for the fractal design R6 and he told us that thanks guys for carrying it because you are the only PC shop I could find in the entire Philippines that had it. I'm not sure if that's true if we are the only ones but again this is our mission to provide quality high-end parts at a reasonable price so we'll always try to stock these kind of very niche but very very cool items.
