Honestly this case is everything to me. I hated having such a big case in the past and only used like 25%. The fact you can put a big ass CPU cooler is awesome. I always wanted to build a smaller PC but I don't want to mess with AIO. I can put normal PC parts without any blockage is just 10/10 for me. I love my 2020 g14 but I miss having a desktop. Sold everything when my wife and I were expecting. Now I'm getting the damn itch to build a PC again. Haha thanks.

@kkcraven Жыл бұрын

Old comment, I know. I felt the exact same way about my old case, the H440. Massive case that allowed me to have a 240mm AIO for my cpu, and a 120mm radiator for my 1080. In the Nano, I have a Coolermaster MA620M with a 5600x, and I've thrown two Scythe fans under my 3080 TI. Tight fit, but the massive fan in the front keeps everything so much cooler than I thought.

@ferdivedaasje Жыл бұрын

I love this case, I bought it 8 months ago for a build and kept it for an updated build. It is now rocking a 5800X3D and a 3080Ti. It's probably the only mini ITX case that I would be comfortable with putting this kind of hardware in. It cools so well. For me it's the perfect compromise between size, cooling and features. Just awesome to be able to use a large ATX PSU in a ITX case. I can highly recommend this case.

Impressive how the 180 mm fan is able to help the cpu cooler and that the opening on the bottom with filter is able to give sufficient air flow even at 3080 Ti. A real unicorn also for the match color, in addition to the components. Thank you so much for your interesting content!

@MechAdv Жыл бұрын

That exhaust fan probably helps the temps quite a bit if you do a cpu/GPU combined torture test. The 350W 3080ti will cook a CPU in a small case right quick, just ask my 5800x in the NR200 prior to going for rear intake config. Lol

Nano does not mean a billionth of a metre. It just means a billionth. You can use it with any SI unit. Nanometre. Nanowatt. Nanofarad. Nanolitre. Nothing is stopping you from doing nanoinch, but that would be too easy. I propose the nana prefix. The nanainch is one 1000000129th of an inch.

I like everything about this except the exterior aesthetics. It's a bit too bulky overall, they could make it much smaller by just toning down the frame design. I would like to see a version of this with something closer to the Define series look or Meshify exterior.

The breakdown is really nice and cleared up some confusion that i had coming in to the video very well. It's amazing... some of the biggest tech youtuber glossed over so much of this case in terms of coming at it from a user perspective. Even Gamer's Nexus only did the compact and the full tower which blows my mind even today. Thanks Robey.
