Amazing, they had to check that 5.25" drive slot for the feature specs at the cost of possibly allowing 3x 140mm front intake fans.
Same goes with mounting GPU's sideways, horrible - horrible idea.

good job fractal, not.

When I first saw a review of the R6, I was really disappointed. It was only after thinking about what role the R6 has in their product stack, that it started to make sense to me. It's their "do everything" case. Whereas many of their other cases are laser focused, this one tries to accommodate anything anyone might try to do with it. I just hope they'll keep the R5 around.

Not unless you buy leftover stocks on Newegg and the like, then it's off to eBay to find one.

Seriously, when the R5 came out, you could only pick up R4's for about 8 months after while they still had stock to sell. It's a shame, because the R4 may have been their best and most physically solid case.
