Fractal Design have upgraded their Define lineup with the Define R6 USB-C as well as offering accessories to modify it to meet your needs.
The EATX case can hold a CPU cooler of up to 185mm in height and offers a wide variety of cooling options. Depending on how you configure the case, the front can handle up to three 120mm or two 140mm fans or a radiator of up to 280mm. The top can be configured to hold up to three 120mm or 140mm fans, or a 420mm radiator if your motherboard doesn't impinge on it. The rear can fit a single 120mm fan or radiator, or a single 140mm fan while the bottom can support a pair of 120mm or 140mm fans or a 280mm rad.
You can also chose between a solid metal side panel or a tempered glass one as well as drive bracket upgrade kits which will add support for an additional pair of HDDs or SSDs depending on which you order.
The basic model will set you back $140 or $160 with tempered glass, if you change your mind later on a glass side panel will cost you $30. The drive brackets are $10 regardless of the type of drive they will be holding and you can pick it up now.
Sweden, September 12, 2018 – Fractal Design proudly announces the expansion of the Define R6 line with new USB C versions and a number of accessories including seamless tempered glass side panels and drive bracket dual packs, now available separately to even further extend the capabilities of the Define R6.

So this is just a Define R6
So this is just a Define R6 with the Connect D1 accessory by default.
Currently at NewEgg, this combination (the one in the picture) is $129.98 for the two devices for the next 7 days.
R6 Black TG + Connect D1
What I want is an accessory, like their flex VLC-25 but that has 2 PCIex16 slots, either with two riser cables or even 1 with a plex chip.
Some graphics cards can be converted to a true single-slot package with water-cooling. (The 1080 Ti FE was one of them, hoping that at least one of the upper models of the 20xx cards can as well)
Define R6 is my favorite case
Define R6 is my favorite case right now for EATX motherboards. I have one and a Cooler Master MasterCase H500M. If the Cooler Master were deeper, it would be almost perfect. As it stands, I’d go with the R6.
