14 DAY TRIAL // Computex 2013, taking place in Taipei, Taiwan, has become the launch pad for products from a whole bunch of companies that at least half the world has never heard about. Nanoxia has added its name to the list.
To be fair, Computex is a show held in Asia, and welcomed many companies from China that seldom send products out of that country.
Many brand vendors also keep to their back yards, which is why only large corporations from China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan have reseller networks around the world.
Nanoxia is a company from the other side of the planet. From Germany, to be exact. Yet, it has made just as many ripples as the rest.
The company has launched a small, box-like mini-ITX case with a single 5.25-inch drive bay that, sadly, gets inside the “personal” space of the motherboard tray.
Fortunately, there should still be plenty of room for CPU coolers.
The chassis, whose name isn't known (this is just a teaser after all) is made of SECC steel and ABS plastic, with aluminum highlights.
It has two 120 mm front fans, two 120 mm rear fans, space for a 140 mm top spinner, three 3.5-inch drive bays (each converts into two 2.5-inch ones) and space for a 120 x 240 mm radiator.
The mini-ITX tray sits horizontally, oddly enough, and the bottom half houses the vertically-oriented PSU bay and the drive cage where those HDD bays are located.
Another chassis brought by Nanoxia to Computex is the Deep Silence 6, a full tower with four 5.25-inch bays, ten 3.5-inch / 2.5-inch bays, a bunch of 120 and 140 mm fans, room for a 240 x 120 mm radiator (360 x 120 mm when agreeing to block three 5.25-inch bays).
The size of the interior is the most important thing here, as it allows for two different liquid cooling loops on top of all core hardware parts. Even XL-ATX, HPTX, and EATX mainboards are supported.
Finally, the large enclosure also has two doors on the front and acoustic dampening. Sadly, prices and availability are unknown.
