Any mods for fractal define r6 ?

Tadziunia

Hey people been using define r6 for 4years now, but the thing is from first days i never put side glass , because thermals ain't good at all, it has two fan in front, but it's blocked, i don't believe that those holes from sides are enough to take air in..

Is there any replacement for that front door, like to mesh door ? ive seen someone modified their to have mesh. Any ideas ? or should i change case ?

The case was released in 2018...

 

Thermals in the case are fine.  By not adding the side panel you are not directing airflow from the front of the case to the rear of the case.

 

You could remove the front door completely and expose the mesh front panel.  

 

FD has a list of compatible accessories https://www.fractal-design.com/products/accessories/ anything else would be custom.

I'd have to double check, but you might be able to use the Meshify S2 front panel as a replacement for the R6.

I just got myself today one of the glass side panels and love it so much that thinking of covering both sides. Yes the panel still is only subject to diy mods at the moment.

Btw only case i have loved since years, and also the phanteks evolve x.

 

Will post some pics soon with both sides ON!!!

Basically, "Yes but since I/O is attached to the front panel it'd be costly". 

 

Haven't found anyone who's successfully done it, which is a bad sign given the age of the cases and the evidence of support.
