I'll be moving soon, which I figure is reason enough to upgrade my PC. I"m thinking about changing my case and I want tp know what I should switch to. My current thoughts are either a Define R6 or a Meshify C (Man, Fractal is on point rn). Any other ideas?

For ease of transport I would go for the Meshify / Define C as they are both quite compact ATX cases that will take up less room than a Define R6. You would really only need a Define R6 if you have a copious amount of hard drives or plan on going full custom loop. Since you have not expressed interest or intent in either the Meshify C seems perfect for your situation. The only problem you may incur is if your graphics card is too long. What GPU are you going to be stuffing in this box?

if there is a front mounted watercooler, and even then, there's a way to get around that by removing some of the webbing on the front panel so you can install the fans on the "outside" of the case.
