Fractal Design is a byword for premium quality and performance. They have one of the best reputations in the PC market, and while they do make other products, the bulk of that reputation was built upon their premium PC case designs. I’ve been a fan of Fractal for well over a decade, having deployed several of their cases in various builds over the years, spanning their early HTPC products to their flagship gaming cases. However, they’re also a brand that doesn’t flood the market with models, offering a fairly limited range compared to some of the big names in the business.
I loved their Torrent case when it launched last year, but if I had one issue with it, it was that it was a little too big for my liking. Today see’s Fractal Design released two solutions to that problem. The first is the E-ATX Fractal Design Torrent Compact, and if that’s still too large for you, we also have the Mini-ITX Nano!
While this may be a lot smaller than the Torrent Compact, and a heck of a lot smaller than the standard Torrent, it’s still a hefty case and features an extremely high airflow design on the front panel, much the same as its big brothers. Actually, while I like the idea of the Compact, this mini-ITX one is certainly grabbing my attention the most out of the range, albeit, micro-ATX would personally suit me even better. Despite the smaller size, it’s still packing one of their latest 180 x 38mm Dynamic X2 PWM fans in the front, while the RGB model has the Prisma AL PWM ARGB fan. However, the front will support 2 x 120/140mm fans/radiators too if you wanted to change things up. It’ll support larger graphics cards, decent size air coolers, plenty of storage, and much more beyond. So while this is a Nano case, it’s still an extremely capable mini-ITX case.
