At first glance, many builders might dismiss the Define Nano S out of hand because of its size. The common argument against bigger Mini-ITX cases like the Nano S is that one can build a microATX system with more expansion slots in nearly the same space f...

Price, Sound dampening, Water / Air cooling support, Cable management
A bit oversized for a true miniITX case
The Define Nano S is an excellent case for anyone looking to assemble the ultimate mini-ITX build. Although it may be a bit large for some purists, the extra room will be more than welcome by those who want to build small without sacrificing performance...

If you've read the whole review and watched the Video you'll know by now how we feel about the Fractal Design Define Nano S. Basically it's a nice little case but it could have been so much better. On the plus side it's pretty compact, measuring just 33...
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...
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...

Very quiet, Decent levels of cooling, Good quality hardware that is easy to pull apart and assemble, Slidein dust filter over power supply, Magnetic dust front filter behind front panel, Mounting backets included for pump and reservoir
A relatively large case that is limited to MiniITX, No power supply cover, Cable management space gets tight if you install two 3.5inch drives, No optical drive bay.
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...
Makes light work of an ITX build, Familiar Define Series aesthetic, Plenty of liquid-cooling potential, Can house a powerful graphics card
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...
