Shipping will be included in the price (by express, so like DHL, UPS, FedEx, etc). A case like this typically costs us around 50-80 USD to send.
If it all possible, please try to avoid shipping with DHL. They are absolutely terrible. I’m excited to have this case on my desk 🎉
Why do you think the case had the 4090 as high as 80C? I've never seen that before
@@ipressdatofu The FE is not optimized for a sandwich layout, you’re better off with a triple fan card. However, there are a few things you can do to improve it further. And don’t forget it’s a 4090.
@@THORZONEthanks for responding! Do you plan to release any thermal benchmarks? Also if I miss the preorder, is there a timeline for when more will be in stock? Not sure I can pull the trigger this month is why I’m asking but I plan to order.
@@Devtac- basic DHL is but express is actually insane good. At least where im from and some neighbour countries as i know people there who order a lot
Cool case, absurd price. I've owned Velkase, FormD, and DAN cases, so I am used to boutique prices, but $350 to $400 is nuts.
Yeah especially if the rollout will be as bumpy as with the Mjolnir.
Neither of the cases you mentioned are unibody. This price is more than understandable
International shipping included
It’s a premium case tbf, looks night and day to how the FormD is shipped
@@vishred i often hear so much about how premium the formd t1 is, both in material construction and packaging
It is so bizarre to spend $400-$450 on a computer case, put a $2000 computer in it, then set the whole thing on two tiny points of contact with your desk/floor/cabinet. A cat could knock it over.
we can safely assume you own a cat xD
You should have just stopped at "It is so bizarre to spend $400-$450 on a computer case...". That was a solid point; no need to undercut it with distractions.
@@user-wm5lu5iv6f Welcome to 2024.
After seeing the fixes they have in place this case looks more promising. I’m just skeptical on the legs, but that is expected since the case is very narrow. I feel maybe a lower profile legs will help with the wobble a bit and keep it less top heavy.
Don’t think that’s possible as they need clearance for all the cables under the case
I want to see some cool air cooled build in this one. You could argue though that the Mjolnir is better for but with the extra width you can fit a bigger air cooler, so I bet it'll look sick and perform well too
Don’t see why MJOLNIR would be better for Air cooling, we basically took MJOLNIR and improved all parts of it for these ones 😁
@@THORZONE Ajajaj... I can't argue with the maker themselves.... Tack för dessa coola chassin!
@@henryyang802 Det var so little så, hope you make någonting riktigt snyggt i din sen 😍
Love the minimalist interior and black finish of, but I can't say I'm a fan of the concave front. or those wobbly feet for the vertical orientation. I'd definitely go horizontal. And the improvements they're working on will certainly help justify that premium price, along with that impressive laser-cut foam for the accessories.
How does the Fans react with the case grill design, does it produce bad resonance like the Terra?
Ive heard too many problems with their first run which sucks because they both look bad ass. I just dont have the time or money to wait years (from what I've heard) to get a case with possible QC issues and no support. But man they look so slick even with the price tag I might snag one if it was in stock. Im just not a fan of preordering so im biased and in honesty ive never seen one of the 1st cases in oerson so who knows.
this is one of the better case designs I have seen in a long time especially for SFF
I was wondering: how easy is it to put the shell back on with the dust filters applied? I fear those filters will get snagged by cables...
I've never been into sff builds. After watching your videos, I am very intrigued to try some out in my own builds. Thx for the awesome vids.
Super sleek! Cant wait for more itx cases to drop
Reconsidering my next build after seeing this beauty
How's the fan noise? It can get pretty loud having fans close to perforated panels, my TERRA build can get quite spicy with only a few mm of gap between the GPU fans and the side, not nearly as bad as the CPU mind you.
I;ve wanted to see a build on this since I saw Jay's video, so thanks and great breakdown of the case and your review. Love it, great looking build.
This is so sleek, thank you for sharing as always, if you get the bigger version maybe you can make a comparison between the two around temps, fitting, etc. I will say the price is a hard pill to swallow, hopefully those details/imperfections with the screws, the wobbling with the feet, the upside down front ano others are fixed on the production version, again, especially with that price point.
I really like this case, but I have one question and a few points of criticism:
- How does it compare to the t1 and a4h20 in terms of thermals?
- the feet seem like an oversight, the case seems really unstable with them. Just making them shorter and wider could change that.
- the gpu blows hot air out of the bottom isn't this a problem for gpu thermals?
- if the case doesn't accommodate a normal 240 aio, it isn't very well optimised. The should give it a few more millimeters.
-the price has been brought up very often. I am sure, they have a reason for that (probably mashining the case out of a very big block of alu), but nevertheless 350-400€ is a lot, considering that other boutique cases like the t1 and m1 cost much less.
Let me answer some questions where I can be unbiased. It does support a normal 240 AIO, you just need a slim fan on the motherboard side, for the PSU side you can use a standard 120x25fan.
Price is not 350-400€, it’s 350-400 USD. Also, international shipping is included, which costs us anywhere from 50-80 usd.
Thanks for the answer! We already briefly interacted on reddit, where you told me about this personal project! :)
From this video I understand that the 240 aio fits with a slim fan. My suggestion was to make a little more room to accommodate two full size fans.
You can actually use the FormD T1 V2 in a vertical setup with the optional mount for it. Really nice to see this more refined Mjolnir come to life. This seems like the ultimate case now.
Devyn my brother doesn't want to build a PC do you know of any pre build mini pc with a rtx 4060.
For anyone out there trying to buy a small case, I recommend SAMA IM 01. It is 18L( a little bigger than the one in the vid). You can put 7 case fans on it and it also supports micro atx motherboard( I think you can put a atx motherboard not sure tho). It only cost 58$
The Sama IM01 (rebranded across multiple countries) has been a staple of the mATX compact case for a while alongside the Asus Prime AP201 and I currently use its rebranded Tecware Fusion variant. To clarify on this:
* it does not support ATX, just mATX and ITX, and even with mATX there are design compromises for its slightly smaller footprint than the AP201.
a) compromise 1 - bottom mATX mobo connectors are blocked if adding 2 regular 120mm fans. Either add 2 slim fans to squeeze cables in, or 1 regular fan to have space for front panel connectors.
b) compromise 2 - mATX mobo is better off still with an SFX PSU mounted in front. Otherwise an mATX mobo+ATX PSU will limit GPU length to short two fan cards.
* The max of 7 case fans is only possible if you use a slim CPU air cooler or an AIO as you will have 2 bottom and 2 top fans, 1 rear fan that is 80mm, and a fan bracket to add 2 fans on the side mesh panel facing towards the front of the mobo.
Its budget pricing in our country and it seems for many others though makes up for some of its compromises since not many compact cases like this with mATX support exist for under $100. You might see this also rebranded into say the Krux Naos, Intertech IM-1, Galax Revolution 03. Sapphire Nitro M01, etc.
2 totally different products for 2 totally different audience
Steel case, yuck. No thanks.
@@kickazzdrummer666 can you explain what's wrong with steel cases i'm confused isn't steel stronger than aluminum
You're comparing two different cases that's meant for two different audiences. One is built from high-end materials and some CNC machining, other is your usuall sheet metal that's powder coated at best, and feels appropriate for that 60$ price point. It's like commenting on Bugatti video that you can also buy WV Passat because it also is built by WV and is as good
I appreciate that they went with a uniform shell this time around, instead of the replaceable panels on the Mjolnir. The glass panels are terrible for thermal management. Not a fan of the curves
Little things like that packaging for the accessories make a huge difference, I believe.
Companies severely underestimate how much this elevates the impression a customer gets from product and company for a negligible investment of something like $1.
Of course that is only true if the product doesn't suck.
Waiting for you rtx 4000 super series itx build.
Nanoq makes the T1 and A4-H20 look like supporting characters.
Hey, so for the same price i could get a nr200p max and get a psu and aio right??
Just as an FYI no boutique part maker will be able to compete with pricing of a huge company. Scales of economy allow companies like coolermaster to offer things at better prices. As others have pointed out the allure of this case would be the premium unibody aluminum which is always going to be crazy expensive vs a mixed metal/plastic case. Nobody is selling this as some kind of great value. It's a niche enthusiast case
Looks beautiful! Are they available?
since itx motherboards are quite limited in rear i/o it essential to have front io in itx cases
you can stand the T1 too, they sell the attachment for it
Clean empty lot of space and airflow won't be a problem eighter and minimalistic interior.
You really help me with my new build I thank you kindly
really really love your builds💯
I never owned such a small case for a proper PC.
My question to any such owners, how to you clean them when they get dusty and all? Isn't it a pain to do so?
Good video, thank you for sharing.
Just a can of air does the job
Neat case, I'm not sure I'd want to switch from my Phanteks evolve shift xt. Looks like it might actually be the better case for airflow though.
don't know if you can get your hands on one yet but seeing you build in the Coolermaster NCORE 100 MAX would be amazing.
I reviewed it last week!
@@devyn.johnston the one post notification I don't get 😭
Nice - looks great & the packaging was unreal 😲😲 I just don't like my GPU that close to all the other components, those things can get really hot when pushed these days and It's the Radiative Heat not the Convective Heat that bothers me over time - cooked rear mounted Nvme SSD ??
now you mention about right screw for slim fans
......why my AIO (asus tuf lc240 mk II) not fit #wipetears
(feel like screw diameters bit smaller)
you need to mention if the AIO fan are in exhaust or intake
NANOQ S is beautiful but no case is near FormD T1 at $150
wasn't it 250$ before ??
wheree did the power supply go in this n you didnt even mention which one you used in this like....i was curious how much power would it be drawing overall ...please share some details bout it
It's right next to the motherboard. It can fit an sfx or an sfx-L psu
You're probably the best person to answer a question I've had recently: what's the smallest case I can use for a 4070 founders edition with an air-cooled CPU, that's NOT over $100? I/O doesn't matter much
With the bigger case version would it be possible to try and fit one of the biggest 3rd party GPU’s along with a 240 or 280mm rad in that case so we can see how much clearance we will end up having with all of those big components inside a case like that? I am most looking forward to that one because it will have less compromises
Another great video dude well done!
I just spoke to them on IG I have the gigabyte oc 3 fan and was told it will fit in the 16l case
@@joem3793 nice! You are referring to the one that is super thick right? The 4 slot card? Do you think you will still be able to put a 240 or 280mm AIO in that thing with that card?
I know that for example the 358mm 4080/4090 ASUS Strix OC also does fit (which is one of the biggest and longest ) but still I would like to see him put as much power in that case as possible to see how much you can put in there :)
@@emiel255 idk bro I hope so because cpu cooling needs to be good. Devyn and Jay both mentioned up coming builds hopefully we can get some ideas soon before having to lock in the preorder. Idk if my card is 4 slot but it’s huge I sent them the link to it and they confirmed it’d fit
@@joem3793 oh nice! Well that’s a good foresight I would say! Because im more into its cases that have the as few compromises as possible. Sure there have to be some but a minimum of a 240mm aio and 99% of all GPU cards that will fit are requirements I choose by personally
@@emiel255Yes the GPU doesn’t affect AIO dimensions unless you need to shift the GPU down (and then it only affect if you can use a slim fan on one side or full thickness fan), which you don’t need if you have some custom cables or some sort of angled adaptor for the 12VHPWR connector. Check with Bespoke Baka, he will offer both sleeved and unsleeved cables for the NANOQ series 😁 So to answer your question, in the large one you can have that card and a 280mm AIO without any issues.
i like this one better than the original, great video
really like it, but it's crazy expensive so I'm afraid no deal
That's a beautiful case, I'd love to have one.
I wouldn't mind this case for a personal high-end build once they fix the issues.
Great video, Good vibes from México!
im so torn on this one. its gorgeous and i know id enjoy the aesthetic, but I could also double my fps by just getting a 99$ itx case and spending the rest on a gpu/cpu. this feels like a case to get once all of your other components are locked in and you just want to upgrade the aesthetics
Boss content and lovely video - keep going Devyn !!! videos are super .. all the love from Dubai
Did bro copy optimum tech or the other wat around?
Could you review the xworks x32? It's a 3.2L mini Itx case
On their website they show a rendering of the case with a full water cooling build with 2 280mm rads. How doable is that?
that's the R version I think
I'd be more interested if it had some USB ports. I don't like the idea of relying solely on the motherboard for that.
I support bringing back the pizza box style computer case.
does this have the same manufacturer with the mjolnir? if so, im not gonna expect much seeing as its been 3+ years and the case has not been released
mjolnirs been out for a while, not sure why youd say it isnt released
What was the background song playing during the last part of this video?
For me, the best looking itx case has to be phanteks evolv shift xt😮
I personally don't like it, although it kind of reminds me of the xbox 360 slim. It's awesome how you can still pack one of the beefiest GPU's into there.
You should do a build in the Goodisory A02 case
After seeing this case, i love my NR200 even more.
I don't like the handles showing all the wires. I was really hoping they would do something like the Borg for a cleaner look.
750 watt PSU with a 4090?
Love this case.
7800x3d is super efficient. So it evens out. I see itx builds on pcpartpicker all the time with 7800x3d + 4090 + 750W psu. As long as it's an A tier rated psu, you'll be just fine
The Corsair SF750 is goated.. it can run any card with the right components.
Slick build 🔥
Hi, I really want to know what noise levels are like at full-tilt and during generic office work. Especially in the nanoq R running a Merc 7900xtx
It would be more perfect to change the nylon bar into two magnets
And the Fractal Terra?
Any chance you’ll be covering some cases between 5-7L?
Yes! Have a few in that range on my channel already and have some new cases that size that I’ll build in future videos
@@devyn.johnston Awesome! Since that downsizing video you made i've been interested in cases around that size and seeing what the options are/what I could do.

6 months later and Still no release date?
Love the introo 🔥
Nice case but not figuring out how to have it stand up is a dealbreaker. Will wait for v2
Not a fan of design, but idea looks quite interesting
Durst?
rip t1
Bottom radiator support is useless for normal aio cooler user and the price is ridiculous.
You can flip the case upside down and the rad will be on top
The feet the feet, a design with the style of the case the ones shown were from the case machinist's solution in my mind, do one from the designer's view duck feet alien style with the rounded slots to match the case inclosure. Just for a stability. Look at Cooler Master's new case turned sideways with a different top to a side looks great but the same styling in this case with the feet. The case is super neet I like it alot turned sideways it's perfect standing up it loses its style with the feet is all. The design is awesome the finish perfect the feet nada.
They made the feet as a handle so you can just grab it and go.
What sizes in cm ?
Yeah, I'll stick to my $80 8.1L S300, lol. Neat case though
Wow! Very nice👍
The price is ABSURD. And the instability of the stand is not reassuring at all.
Sick of vertical SFF cases…
I need cheap and good case (R5600, probably AiO), could you help me guys?
NO white ?!?! Pass...
the only problem, the huge price
no dust filters
Watch the video. 2 dust filters included
1:21 You keep saying "handles" meaning "something grasped by the hand" but they're more like "feet". On the Mac Pro they're handles. Anyway, does the larger case use handles/feet of the same size? That might be problematic. Returning to the Mac Pro (which is also housed in a metal sleeve), the outside edges of the feet are the width of the case. The stability of this case could benefit from a similar design.
I understand your point, but I call them handles because that’s what the company named them - thor-zone.com/mini-itx/nanoq/buy/
The Handles function both as “handles” and as “feet”. Personally, my rig is in horizontal orientation when I work, and later I use the Handles to carry the case to our TV for some Cyberpunk2077 😉
@@devyn.johnston understood. thanks.
@@THORZONE got it. horizontally they can be either one. thanks.
Make the feet triangular and call it a day
Devyn I've been thinking about a portable travel PC with a monitor, what can you recommend in this direction? I've been thinking something that can go in a backpack with the monitor, good specs (i7 and a quality, powerful GPU), and under 15 pounds.
In this way I can set up the keyboard, mouse, headset, monitor, and PC with a few cables pretty quickly while being better and having upgradability, unlike a laptop.
Thanks, if you reply.

Lost interest as soon as I saw the case wobble .The case stands need to be redesigned for better stability.
Yeah definitely dislike the wobble. But I ordered one anyways because apparently in the R model you can fit 2 280 rads and a small distro with a pump like the ek flt.
