Fractal's best chassis to date. Every high-end PC build starts with an inviting chassis, and though we've occasionally lamented the lack of innovation in this space, a number of manufacturers have picked up the pace in the second half of 2017. Cooler Master resurrected the HAF, NZXT unveiled its flagship H700i, Deepcool's Baronkase proved that high-end needn't break the bank, and be quiet! raised the bar with the excellent Dark Base 700.

Now it's time to turn our attention to Fractal Design's long-overdue Define R6. The Swedish company's track record of no-nonsense Scandinavian design has resulted in plenty of accolades over the years, and rightly so - whereas competitors have been quick to adopt a more modern, gaudy approach, Fractal tends to keep it simple with a common design language and features that most users will want.
