#Thorzone #pcbuild #asuspcdiy - Just when we thought Mini ITX builds were reaching their peak for hardware support, Thor Zone came in HOT with the new and upcoming NANOQ S. Let's talk about that...

Thoz Zone have been known for a short while now for creating some rather unique Small Form Factor ITX PC cases. The NANOQ S is no exception, driving some really solid design innovations and a build experience like no other.
From the moment you unbox the NANOQ S, it's immediately apparent that this is a high quality product. From the presentation of the included accessories, to that superb stainless steel / aluminium structure, the entire process felt more like an adventure rather than 'just a pc build' so to speak. Combine this, with the overall quality and I do feel that the $319 price tag is justified.
Having seen Devyn's previous build with this same chassis featuring a 240mm liquid cooler, I wanted to explore the air cooled possibilities. The NANOQ's strong points are that it's designed to work best with a liquid AIO, but with some creativity and paying special attention to measurements (which I evidently overlooked initially with the Noctua NH-L9x65) there's great potential here for keeping things cool with two added 120mm intake fans.
For my final thoughts on the NANOQ S, check out the paragraph below the following links:

To wrap this up, Thor Zone sent this NANOQ S chassis to check out in its pre-production phase. This was a great opportunity for me to learn whilst also provide some helpful feedback to the team. The final version has had a few changed implemented since filming this video, which includes additional screws to the bottom fans, an included hex key, adjustments to some of the screw positions and more. I'm very excited to see where this leads and I have no doubts that it'll be a big hitter with the SFF community!
