I built a PC with this a couple months ago and it has great airflow as advertised. Don't let the size fool you, its still a pain to get everything in there cleanly like typical ITX cases. It comes with one large fan in the front and I added a rear exhaust fan. It's definitely more cost effective to go with a mATX build instead, but I really liked the aesthetic and build quality of this case so I was willing to pay the premium.

" including ATX motherboards" - it's for mini-TX motherboards only
I was going to say that it was odd that a "Nano" case would fit ATX motherboards. Companies can call products whatever they want to but a nano ATX-fitting case would be misleading.
The ATX is coming from the fact that it can fit an ATX PSU, rather than just an SFX one.

Quite large for itx. There are several well reviewed Matx cases that are smaller.
Yes, paying a premium for an ITX motherboard and then housing it in a case that's larger than mATX cases doesn't make sense - might as well save the money and get the cheaper mATX board and cheaper mATX case.

I have this case, honestly for what it is, I'd rather just get MATX, the parts are cheaper. The only 4080 that fit were the FE/ Ventus and Zotac if you play legos. There are smaller MATX cases.
My Meshify 2 Mini is technically a smaller volume (33L vs 34.6L of the Nano) and can utilize mATX motherboards. However, the Nano can hold a much longer GPU compared to the Meshify 2 Mini (335mm vs 306mm with front fans installed). I don't regret getting the Meshify 2 Mini (Fractal makes great cases and I didn't want to pay premium for mITX), however with GPU's getting larger and larger it's worth considering.

Yep, the only good Fractal Torrent model that makes sense is the Compact for a full ATX board.
