Looking for Fractal Design Define R6 Hdd Trays

[ksculland]

I know a lot of people have purchased this case for water cooling and are not using all the hard drive trays.

I'm planning on building a media server in this case, but I need more trays.  I live in the Ottawa area, Canada.

I'm hoping that there are enough people on here willing to part with 1 tray.

I need a total of 5 on top of the 6 that come with the awesome case.

If you are that somebody please let me know.

 

Thanks.

Weird, they might be the first company I've heard of to not do that...

 

Have you tried poking around Ebay?

Yes I looked, but didn't find any.

Sooo, let me get this straight. The company sells a case that they advertise supports up to 11 3.5" drives, but they only provide 6 trays and they refuse to give you more without buying another case? Are there any generic drive trays that fit? If not, I smell a case of false advertising... Uh, no pun intended. Frankly I'd email them back and tell them if they refuse to support the number of drive trays they advertise, then they need to accept a return on the case so I can get something else from a company that *will* provide the drive bays needed to support their own case.

I know the feeling about wishing fractal would sell that type stuff I’m currently putting a build together and am seriously considering building in this case but would really like to be able to purchase a second TG panel (interchangeable with back too.) I’ll keep you in mind should I purchase this case and decide to part with them which is a pretty good possiblity I may go external for that 

Contacted them about the TG panel said they are checking with retailers for certain things to seems like it’s headed in the right direction

Hi,

 

Are they still available? Looking for some drive bays everywhere with no luck.

 

Anyone with available R6 hard drive bays please let me know.

 

Thanks!
