Literally came out today, looks nice

Posted

My Define Nano S has seen better days, as I have been taking it on trips with me and scratching up the plastic and all. So with all this tempered glass cases I decided that I want one but in mini ITX of course. Are there any good looking cases on the market that have tempered glass and are specifically mini ITX? A tinted glass would be nice as well since I have the Corsair Link RGB kit.

 

Thanks in advance!

That is one sexy case.

It is isn't it? I do also like the Enthoo Evolv ITX with tempered glass. I liked that case in general before but now I like it with the tempered glass because of the looks and the scratch resistance. My Define Nano S is going out of commission just because of all the scratches on the plastic window and the tint makes the RGB pop out that much more as well.

The evolv series has a severe airflow issue. I dont recommend any of those cases. Lian Li also makes the Q37 which is VERY expensive, but that's lian li. And other than the Phanteks Shift, those are the only tempered glass ITX cases I'm aware of

i was about to say Lian Li PC-Q37 but damn that nzxt looks very good as well and maybe more budget friendly

I've actually been doing some research on my own and I love the new Phanteks Evolv Shift that just came out. The shorter one not the Shift X. It will still fit my gigantic Gaming X 1070 and an H80i and stuff, plus it has tinted tempered glass and an RGB controller. I probably will be using my $80 Corsair kit that I'm already using though, offers way more in terms of lighting customization, as I can do cool patterns and specific colors and all unlike the included RGB controller.

 

Plus I like the smaller form factor, especially its footprint. Makes it easy to keep it in the TV stand in my dorm room where we all use my PC, plus it makes it easier to travel.

 

So I think I'm going to go with that case, especially since it's a lot cheaper than the H series case from NZXT that isn't even available yet.

IMO if you plan on ever going with a loop, you should keep the Nano S. I have a Nano S and it's able to fit a 240 + 280, while still having room for the huge VRMs on the M8i.
