I'm looking for a case for my dad and it's down to the fractal nano s and the phanteks evolv itx. The phanteks looks easy according to YouTube review videos but the nano s seems to require some force to remove and I'm worried about the plastic posts breaking off.

I need something simple that my dad can remove easily without figgiting around so he can clean the dust filter.

fractal node 304 > phanteks evolv ITX > fractal nano S.

Why is the node 304 ranked so high in my book?
Because its the only horizontal board layout for the size which can hold a LOT of stuff without cutting you fingers on the edges.

The only case i would vote being simular is also twice its size, that being the bitfinex prodigy.

My Node 304 isn't that hard to get off. A little leverage with a flat plastic something goes a long way.

It is an amazing case.
