When first seeing this case at CES I didn't really like it, but now that I see it... damn. That black and white is sexy. And the liquid cooling support is impressive, but too bad I just rebuilt my system. This is a nice change of design for NZXT, but I think they did a great job of it and can't wait to see some new builds start showing up.

 

NOTE: can someone tell me how to do a spoiler so I can clean up some of the images?

Would be so much nicer if it was straight lined and not rounded.

Ain't gonna lie, a case with curves makes me feel all tingly inside.

 

I may have to do an ITX build whenever I get a new system and use this case.

Kinda disappointed...looks like they took one of their S340's and put it in front of a fun house mirror...

Was interested until I saw the price. No thank you. Evolv Mini and Define Nano S make more sense.

i actually love the round panels, it really makes the case stand out. And with dual 280mm rad support i cant wait to see some crazy builds with this. Can you imagine what modders are gonna do with this case.

I think one of their employees threw an airbag in there and then activated it... :P Designers nowadays (no offense to designers)

I personally don't like it, and it's fairly big for a "small" case, as well as the price is quite high for what you get

CPU: I7 4790K(4.6@1.252v)                               Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed(Black)           Cooler: CM 212 EVO + NF F12 iPPC

RAM: HyperX Fury 1600MHZ CL10 2x4GB      Storage: Samsung 850 EVO(250GB) + WD Red(2TB)      PSU: Corsair RM750 (and no, it hasn't blown up!)

MoBo: Asus Maximus VII Ranger                      Graphics: MSI GTX 970 TwinFrozr (1494MHZ Core)       OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

It certainly looks different. The squared off box with flat panels in tower or cube shape needed some innovation.

Price is a bit high but I can imagine that it's due to: 1) curved steel is expensive to make. 2) no one else makes a case like this. It's unique and stands out.

Ehhhh if anything I would get the Fractal S Nano, this is way to ugly in my opinion. Hopefully people who buy it use it in setups that it will blend in with but other than that I see nothing really special about it.

I am guessing that the price is higher because of the cost to bend the steel like that, and you know the build quality will be top notch.

I don't mind the size of the case for a itx build but man, the case aesthetics wise, really is not impressive and frankly in my opinion, looks extremely ugly.

What's the point of a case that big for mini ITX? If I want a case that big I'll get something that can accommodate at least a micro ATX board that'll cost way less than a weaker ITX board.

NZXT please start putting reset switches on your cases again!  :(

My thoughts on every Corsair case except the 450d, and that one is awful to work in and maintain clean.
