Fractal Define Nano S ITX Case Review
Introduction
Swedish designers and case manufacturers Fractal Design have been around for quite a while now, and it’s fair to say they’ve established something of a decent reputation in the enthusiast sector of the market. Their designs are predominantly well thought out, minimalist, high quality and well priced. Enter then, the latest addition to the Define range, the Nano S. Measuring 230x203x400mm (HxWxD) the Nano S resembles a shrunken version of the Define S, which, to be honest, is no bad thing. Fractal however claim it to be ” A new way to look at the ITX form factor”, guess we’d better see if it’s worthy of that claim.
