The Fractal Design Define Nano S is a small, sleek, ITX case with straight lines and flat surfaces. It uses Fractal Design's signature black and white theme; mostly black with a few white accents to be precise. In my opinion, it's a great look for those...

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...
