The editors didn't like
A bit oversized for a true miniITX case
No Dust Filter included for Top (with ModuVent Removed)
A few more cable tie mounts could give builders more options to route cables
Overall the Define Nano S by Fractal Design has been the easiest and most enjoyable ITX case to build in. It has so man
PSU very close to graphics cards - some cards with dual or triple cooler setups will have their fans blocked off
Cable management behind the motherboard tray a bit tricky
160mm maximum height for CPU cooler a bit restrictive
At a price tag of 69 USD / 75 EURO I think that Fractal Design offers a very nice balance of proper aesthetics combined with a very decent feature-set chassis. In terms of ITX usage, you can simple mount plenty of components even with some liquid cooling...
As with all the installations I do, the first thing on my list is take the power supply and slot it into place. In this build, it is the FSP Hydro G 850W; a unit I will be looking at next week. As I have already mentioned, a maximum length of 160mm is sta...

Abstract: Computer cases are, for the most part, boring and annoying. They're ugly, or they don't fit your hardcore gaming components. But Swedish case and component brand Fractal Design has a new case, made for the small-and-efficient market, that actually suits P...
Abstract: Naturally, your case needs to fit your chosen motherboard. The standard size for motherboards is 305 x 244mm, a form factor known as ATX. However, many popular boards come in the smaller micro-ATX format, measuring 244mm x 244mm.If you buy a regular ATX c...

The Fractal Design Define Nano S is a nice alternative if one is in the market for a somewhat larger Mini ITX case. The size is fairly small, compared to competitors such as the Bitfenix Prodigy and the Colossus Mini, Corsair Graphite 380T and the NZXT...
With the Define Nano S, Fractal Design has created a smaller version of the wellknown Define S Despite its small size this new miniITX case manages to keep all the main features of its bigger brother The Define Nano S is a minitower designed for those who...
