The Define Nano S is an ITX case that features compatibility with high end, full-size components, superior sound dampening, and an ATX-like layout.

The case includes two Dynamic Series fans with both bottom and front intakes protected by easy-to-clean, removable dust filters.

With its mounting capabilities for simultaneous radiators and unobstructed airflow path, the Define Nano S can cool enthusiast-level components.

Equipped with Fractal Design's signature ModuVent™ technology on the top vents and sound dampening throughout, the Define Nano S can run a powerful system quietly, a hallmark of the Define series.

EDIT: Email says available in Match 2016, costing $64.99 (ÂŁ49.99) without window and $69.99 (ÂŁ54.99) with window, looks like a nice little case.

They already have the Define Mini which is the mATX version or were you specifically talking about a Define S Mini?

- Can liquid cool in matx and ITX
- Plenty of powerful single GPUs
- Get a NAS
- Get a Docking Station
- Not needed with point 2
- 5.25 bays lol.

- Find me a small case outside of CaseLabs (basically a big case) that can handle a triple or quad rad please!

- I never said there wasn't, but power (therefore expensive) single GPU solutions are not for everyone. Sometimes it is cheaper just to add another one. Then you have people that will want like Tri-SLI 980ti or something.
- Not everyone wants a NAS? Some people just want to have it all stored in a computer.
- Same reason as above
- Same answer as point 2
- They still exist and people still use them (reservoirs, LCD displays, fan controllers, hot swap HDD dock)

I don't really keep up with Fractal cases but every time I see a thread about a new model it looks exactly like the last new model. Do they just make a bunch of slightly different versions of the same case?

My point really is ATX and large cases are really becoming the exception more then the rule. You have smaller form factors that have just as many option on board as a ATX version. You have console gamers coming into the PCMR scene that dont really want some massive hunk in their living room. 3-4 rad is an extreme, and so is 3-4 SLI.

IMO, ATX should have died out long ago, if not phased over to matx itx sooner. ATX is from the days where you just couldnt fit so much on a board and needed expansion slots for quality sound cards, video, modems, ethernet, upgrade cards for USB and firewire. I even remember a joystick I had needed its own ISA slot for its adapter card.

Even Matx is SO much smaller and you can still fit dual rads, SLI-xfire and 4-5 HDDS plus SSD slots.
