    That is pretty huge for a mini-ITX case! Beautiful design though - NZXT designs have come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years.

    I dread to think how big that would be seeing as this one is the same height and depth but 20mm wider than my midi ATX case.

    Don't really like it, wacky design but not aesthetically pleasing.

    Not my cuppa tea. I'd take Fractal's new Define Nano S any day of the week.

    Re: NZXT introduces curvaceous Manta mini-ITX chassis

    Not bad looking, but £120? I think I'd buy a cheaper case and spend the difference on the things that matter, the motherboard/processor and PSU.

    Looks sleek! Would definitely consider for a m-itx build.

    Re: NZXT introduces curvaceous Manta mini-ITX chassis

    This is hilarious - it's 35mm wider than my TJ-08e but has less CPU cooler clearance (only 5mm, but it's still odd). It's also 52mm higher and 65mm longer, but has no 5.25" bays and less 3.5" bays - and two less expansion slots! That's a 50% increase in volume for less of everything except PSU clearance (which you totally need to power multi GPU setups) and fan mounts

    The case looks great. Personally wouldn't mind fitting an ITX board in to a mATX just to get the space to have silent cooling.
    Replacing an mATX board with an mITX board won't get you any more clearance for heatsinks, so there will be no difference in noise - since mATX boards are cheaper you might as well go for the bigger one since you'll have spare expansion slots and more ram slots

    Good point, hadn't really thought of it like that.
