Stylish and compact Mini Tower. This platform is primarily interesting in that the chassis is designed for installing a mini-ITX motherboard, but at the same time, you can use full-size powerful and performant components. Two fans are responsible for dissipating heat from hot high-performance iron. The first 140 mm impeller is installed at the front, the second cooler with a diameter of 120 mm is mounted at the back. The Fractal Design Define NANO S case received a two-piece top cover. The top panel can be both deaf, with a noise-absorbing effect, and ventilated. If you remove the insulating insert, access to the metal grill will open. In this case, the user can determine the direction of the computer assembly, quiet comfortable or maximum performant. In the case there was a place for desi...gn delights. So, one of the sidewalls has a large bet based on transparent acrylic, which offers a beautiful view of the beauty of the computer assembly. Despite the compact form factor, the platform is able to accommodate a full-sized processor tower (up to 160 mm high) and a powerful graphics adapter up to 315 mm long.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Fractal Design Define NANO S is a Mini Tower case that supports mini-ITX motherboards, offering a compact yet efficient design. Users appreciate the high-quality materials and thoughtful component layout, making assembly an exciting experience. The case includes soundproofing features and supports both air and liquid cooling systems, providing flexibility for various setups. However, some users note that the vertical hard drive installation can be noisy, and the space between the power supply and video card slot is limited, which may necessitate liquid cooling for high-end graphics cards. Despite these minor drawbacks, the case is praised for its excellent build quality and is recommended for those who value a compact size and sleek design.

great model, love it

Assembling in this case is very exciting and exciting)) because of the size, everything must be done carefully. Compared to consumer-grade cases, the quality of materials, thoughtfulness of components and holes amazes. The supplied fans make little noise, but they don’t produce a lot of air flow either. Shumka taped on all sides except the back and bottom. The metal is magnificent, fitted well, painted perfectly.
A hard drive installed vertically still transmits much more noise than one installed below. A power supply up to 160 mm does not block the holes for wires, a video card without a turbine or one that is quite thick is placed close to the point or with a small margin of clearance with the power supply in the front part (the lack of air volume on one of the 1060 fans from the pallets causes it to heat up to 80-84 degrees at the nominal mode of operation of the fans, you have to unscrew them in the afterburner and it becomes noisy). And there is no proprietary filter for the upper compartment for yours, which is sealed with a lid.

Assembling it is a real pleasure, it is perfect for those who value a small size and a strict design.
The ability to install almost any cooling system, both air and water.
Small height from the power supply to the video card slot (about 55 mm). For top-tier cards, you'll have to purchase liquid cooling and forfeit the card warranty.
