New pc case time

harveychestbreach

Hey all I wanted to get some suggestions on a new case. Currently I am using a sh***y Chinese case I got like 7 years ago and it's hurting my thermals now. I want room for 6-10 3.5 drive bays, a 5.25 drive bay, and 1-2 2.5 drive bays. Preferably <$150

Thanks!

If you're interested in an in-depth review of the Define R6, please check out the Fractal Define R6 Case Review by GamersNexus. TLDR: It's a solid out-of-the-box case if you don't plan on installing extra fans, cooling is on the better end of average, noise levels are just a tad bit noticeable, build quality is excellent, and the building experience is pretty smooth.
