I love the subtle look of the Fractal cases and i really need to replace my current mega tower storm trooper. Is the Define R6 worth it over the Meshify C, the R6 is double the price around here. I dont really have any special requirements for the case, i like my PC to be pretty silent but still with decent airflow, i dont need a ton of drivespace, i run with 3-4 SSDs. The Meshify C is around 100$ and the R6 is 175$.

 

Pretty much just wondering if the R6 is worth the extra cost, i dont doubt its a nice case, just not sure how much compared to the Meshify C or another nice case.

Both are great, the meshify will have slightly better thermals but a more or less equivalent loss in sound dampening.

Okay, think i might justt go with the Meshify, the the R6 might be better, but probably not double the price good.

The r6 is double price good if you are:

  1. Someone who needs a lot of hard drives
  2. A custom watercooling enthusiast
  3. A person with a very large aircooler

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Ï have a NH-D14 which is pretty huge, max hight with fans is 160 and the meshify says it supports up to 172, hopefully should be fine.

Yeah, I honestly got the meshify and core mixed up there.  You'll be fine

The R6 is a much larger case. Unless you need the extra space for rads or storage drives, go with the Meshify C for the better airflow, space efficiency, and lower price.

Meshify will have better thermals, costs less

R6 will have better noise, cost more

 

If you care more about noise but would want an R6 at a Meshify C price, look at thew Define C TG
