Looks pretty good for how small it is, might buy the black version.

I really like the look of this, but having 3 PCI slots almost defeats the purpose of going ITX. If I really wanted a 3090 in a small form-factor PC, I'm going to get a water cooler.

I have full size Fractal Torrent and it's amazing. The best case I've ever had. This Nano version looks funny and cute.

Looks like one of them cheapo room heaters. Perfect for hiding a roaring gaming computer in. hey at full throttle you may even get the obligatory red glow at the front. 😛

A fully modular power supply would be in store for this chassis with custom length cables for neatness.

What a neat looking case, he says, as a Cooler Master H500 Mesh with two 200mm front fans sits near him! Lots of spare room in my case which might well be a good thing for a gaming computer but this small Fractual case seems a much better solution than the very expensive Corsair One. Putting a 180mm fan in the front is an effective way to cool this small factor case.

What I'm curious about is how does the PSU even breathe with an Air cooler? I see the vent holes for the intake are at the bottom and the Air coolers seem to be pressed right up against it.

Agree. To me mini ITX should have a GPU mount. Something that gets the GPU off the actual PCIe slot. Like many people do with horizontal mounts to show off the GPU. I could see doing an AIO cooler for the CPU and mounting the GPU over the motherboard. Lots of neat options I wish smaller cases would employ.

If I was building in this I would simply overkill the PSU so it doesn't run hot in the first place.

Please see the review & build of the case I've added to this thread CENSORS REMOVED LINK TO KITGURU BUILD

Page after page of product show case and not a single image, either empty or post build side on from the left looking in through the window showing off the actual side you would want on display.

Hilbert, I am sorry if you were upset about the link to kitguru's build of the Fractual Nano case, perhaps I could ask you to recognise that many would feel that guru3d is the superior tech website (I do) and not feel you have to remove the very occasional link. The one thing on kitguru's website that specifically interests me is 'Uncle' Leo's videos of case builds, there is nothing else I think kitguru does better than guru3d imho. If any of us regularly posted links to other tech websites I would certainly understand your having good cause to be upset but perhaps I can appeal to the bigger man in you Hilbert and to ask to rise above the posting of a very occasional link?

This thread is about our review on a chassis, not one from a competing website. You post and embed competing videos and links etc. Referring to that website as Uncle Leo ... basically mate you're taking a dump in my garden. Then once a post gets removed you throw your right of democracy in my face. Seriously guys, think before you post.
