Fractal Define Nano S – Water cooling ITX

 

Fractal design has just announced their new Define Nano S ITX case, an ITX version of their ATX Define S case that gives ITX users the ability to easily watercool their ITX components and use full sized video cards.  

The ITX Define Nano S is a case that provides the user with options, options to either use this case using Fractal’s sound dampened ModuVents to allow you to chose your own balance between airflow and silence. This case will be sound dampened throughout, and will be available in Windowed and Non-windowed versions.   

  

 

The front and top of this case is capable of holding dual 140mm or 120mm fans, with the front supporting up to a 280mm radiator and the top supporting a 240mm radiator. This gives this case plenty of space to water cool your ITX PC with ease and still have space for a pump and reservoir inside. 

The front and bottom intakes of the case is fully dust filtered, allowing your case to be dust free and easily cleaned. In terms of storage the case has two 3.5″/2.5″ mounts and two dedicated 2.5″ drive mounts, giving this case plenty of space for internal storage.

All the space for your SSD or HDD storage is behind the motherboard tray, so that it will not interfere with the cases water cooling options.
