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...

At first glance you may well think the Fractal Design Define Nano S mini tower case supports a Micro-ATX motherboard but in fact it is Mini-ITX. This is a little unexpected, partly because it stands 344mm tall, but also because a quick look inside reveals...

With the Core 500, Node 202 and now the Define Nano S, Fractal appears keen not to let any growth in the mini-ITX segment go to waste. Tower cases, and especially the Define Series, are what gave Fractal its reputation, so it's little surprise the Define...

Looks sparse without liquid cooling, GPU and PSU in close proximity, Not actually that small
A fair few chassis manufacturers dabble in other key components such as power supplies and, in recent years, all-in-one liquid coolers. It's a healthy portfolio to have, yet it can lead to unavoidable crossover as any one product from a company's range sh...
Excellent use of space, Can hold up to four drives, Mounting bracket for pump included, Mounting holes for reservoir, Ability to hold extensive liquid-cooling setup, Fan splitter included, Two fans included, Plenty of space for long GPUs and PSUs, Great b
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
The Fractal Design Define Nano S with a solid side panel goes for 60 euros incl. taxes. The windowed version will set you back 65 euros incl. taxes. US readers will find the chassis for 55-60 US dollars excl. taxes. Excellent use of space Can hold up to f...
Plenty of water cooling support, Easy installation, Supports long graphics cards, More than enough room behind the motherboard tray to hide and route cables, Sound dampening properties, 2 cooling fans included
While most case manufacturers have been trying to come up with unique and different designs for their mini-ITX cases, Fractal Design with their Define Nano S has mad a case that looks and feels like a normal ATX case, but is just smaller. This biggest thi...

Fractal Design Define Nano S - $69.99, Amazon.comI have very little to add here, other than to say that the Define Nano S is a fantastic enclosure for the money. It's no small feat to produce an enclosure at this price-point that looks good, performs well...
