Among other things, the system unit received high-quality sound insulation, and the memory storage compartment received a convenient modular design. So, the bay can accommodate 6 3.5" drives and 2 2.5" drives. On the front panel there is a plug for installing a 5.25" drive. In addition, the front panel itself is swivel and the user can at his discretion configure which way the front panel will rota...te. On the chassis, you can install a graphics card of almost any power level, because there is a place for The graphics adapter is 440 mm long, and the space for a CPU cooler has the same amount of space — a CPU fan up to 185 mm high can be installed on the chassis.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Fractal Design Define R6 Black is a highly regarded computer case known for its robust build and thoughtful design. The metal is very thick, making the case heavy and durable, while the interior is lined with noise-reducing material, ensuring a quiet operation. Quick-release bolts and dust covers add to its convenience, and the internal space is highly customizable, allowing users to remove hard drive mounts for additional flexibility. This case is ideal for those who spend significant time on their PC and desire a quiet environment. Although the price reflects its quality, the investment is justified by its longevity and performance. Overall, the Define R6 sets a high standard in the market, offering a blend of functionality and noise reduction that is hard to find in newer models.
Pros

Cons

I would recommend it to those who spend a lot of time on a PC and who are tired of the noise.

Excellent ultra quiet case. I've been using this for about 8 years.
The metal is very thick, the body is really heavy. The inside is lined with noise-reducing material. Everything is secured with quick release bolts. Convenient quick-release dust covers. The internal space can be completely freed from such things as mounts for hard drives and you can put your own in this place. In general, this is the standard. They don’t make things like this anymore, alas, all this new stuff with glass and so on is not worth it.
The price is understandable, but quality has always cost money.

Mister Silent

Define R6 — is yet another masterpiece from Fractal Design. The company's engineers have considered feedback from both enthusiasts and regular customers, resulting in a practical case that boasts substantial weight, high durability, spaciousness, and a well-thought-out design. It also looks interesting and minimalistic, like most other models from Fractal Design, especially in the unconventional white color.

The Devil is in the Details

This case embodies the saying "the devil is in the details." Inside, the case features a modular design that easily allows for massive air or liquid cooling (with 4 slots for LCS), integration of a large number of drives, accommodation of components of any size, and choosing the desired balance between ventilation level and sound insulation. Among those very details, there is a useful PWM hub that allows controlling up to nine fans based on system load, side panels that clip on for quick removal, a trio of quiet stock coolers, and the ability to mount a graphics card in a vertical orientation.

Simplicity is Better

It's also pleasing that the side glass now attaches like a regular panel without bolts, the front panel detaches separately from external ports, and there is quick and easy access to all dust filters for maintenance. Against this background, there are only two drawbacks, and both are minor. The first is the uncovered 5.25 bay, through which dust enters the case. The second is that the top metal cover is difficult to separate from the filter grille, causing both parts to get scratched.
