The Define C is smaller. Much smaller. It doesn't fit ATX boards. 

Uh it literally says ATX case in the description and has 7 pcie slots sooo yes ATX.

 

Anyway, the Define C is a lot shorter front to back because they removed the 3 drive bays from the back of the Define S and relocated them to 2 drive bays under the PSU shroud.  They also moved the SSD bays up behind the mobo more and added one to make 3. And the Define S is more suited for liquid cooling. 

is the power-supply shroud and different storage location between the two worth the 30 dollar price difference? i think you can hide the cables better? I'm not sure. I saw reviews for both of them and I love the way it works. I'm just not sure if the 2 added features are worth it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352055&cm_re=define_s-_-11-352-055-_-Product

I am very confused right now, I must be thinking of another 'Define' case...

Define Nano S is a mini ITX version of the Define S, that must be it.

I don't look at links most of the time. Must've just seen the letter C, assumed it meant compact (which it does) but assumed a lot more compact.
