Cooler Master NR200P MAX SFF Small Form Factor Mini-ITX Case, Custom 280mm AIO, 850W SFX Gold PSU, Triple-slot Vertical Mount GPU, PCIe Gen4 Riser, Tempered Glass or Vented Panel (NR200P-MCNN85-SL0)

This case is so popular its always out of stock. I finally got my hands on the NR200P and was excited to use the glass to show off my build a little. Ive never had a case with glass yet (its been a while). However, after doing a lot of research, I realized that all the great features of this case are only fully utilized when you dont use the glass side panel. Heres why: 1. When using the glass, you choke out your radiator if you mount it to the side bracket (obviously). So you have to bottom mount it and then vertical mount your GPU. The GPU does get better thermals than some other vertical mount cases, but it has still shown to hinder performance. 2. If youve seen the Gamers Nexus video on youtube, they specifically show how bottom mounting an AIO is a really bad idea. They also specifically use this case as an example. That was bummer for me as that was my entire plan. But I want my parts to last a really long time. 3. Then I thought that I would just do an air cooler. However, most of high performance CPU air coolers dont fit in this case. Any of the Noctua ones that do fit havent been released in black chromax yet and I dont want to go with their ugly brown. There are some decent air coolers that will fit, but I wasnt really excited about any of them. 4. The fact that your only option with the glass is the vertical mount the GPU kind of defeats the purpose as the graphics card will block off the rest of your build. So all the AIOs with cool pump headers cant be seen anyway. 5. This case lacks any back panels or spaces to hide cables, so all your management happens around the psu cage. Looks a little messy on the inside because of the small size imo. So if you dont care about the glass, this case is awesome. Its size, price, build, and thermals are really good. Cooler master really hit this one out of the park. You have great options with the vented side panel. I think the community has been waiting for something affordable like this for a long time. For me, aesthetics was something I really wanted to do, so I went with a Lian Li TU150 instead.

So you, like me, probably looked into smaller cases because you are limited in space, or you just want something a little less prominent. My first foray into deciding which case to get, I was a little overwhelmed with the boutique, $300 2 1/2 liter whatever boxes that showed up. I thought, Damn, that kind of money can get a really nice case. This is four pieces of acrylic glued together with vape juice and sold along side matching hats and coats. Seriously, think of the $300 dollar category for ATX cases. Exactly. There are some crazy options. Stuff em full of GPUs and radiators and 400 dollars of RGB fans. Post it on reddit. But this little guy. A hair over $100 bucks at my time of reviewing. Wow. Everything comes apart, giving you access to every angle. Multiple PSU options, if get the adapter (Or print it, which they have plans for on their website.) A nice little footprint, has space for a few 2.5 drives or a couple 3.5 drives if you got the space. Cant believe the value the packed into this. I get why its such a popular SFF case. Ive always had a thing for Cooler Master cases. Still have my CM Storm Trooper from a decade ago. Still a beast and could easily be used as an armored vehicle for a smaller individual. Just need some wheels. If you feel like having a smaller computer is something you want to explore, try this one out before you start taking out loans to get some plasma cut organic steel mesh top hat loque s-1 double blown pudding bottom Yeezies.

I love this case. Its well built, relatively easy to assemble, and looks great. Im a beginner to building and this is my second PC build. I built the first one 10 years ago for gaming, and it lasted me longer than any other PC I have ever owned, which is why I chose to build another instead of buying a preassembled one. My old PC is still running well, and pretty fast too, but it doesnt have the specifications for newer updates (e.g., Windows 11, 4k display, and specifications for software updates). The main purpose of this second PC build is to be able to run statistical and data analysis software for grad school, be able to handle programing and also be gaming capable if I ever do decide to play. I wanted a small ITX PC that I can easily take with me if I need to attend school in another city. I also wanted it to look more professional than some of the typical gaming PCs out there. This case has great reviews and has a well thought-out design in terms of cooling and cable management. It met all of my criteria. It comes with an AIO, power supply, and thermal paste. Before receiving the case I was a bit concerned about the quality, but it is actually very sturdy and well built. Panels are easy to remove and put on, without too many screws. They are held in place by the design of the case. The panels clicks into the structure of the case. There is no concern about panels falling out. I did not have any issue with fitting the motherboard or other components into the case, but it is small inside and would be difficult to remove components. I had to unplug a couple of cords to try to read the serial number on the side of the motherboard and that was not fun. Overall, very satisfied with this case and would recommend it. If I have to build another computer, I would choose this case without a doubt. Out of all the components I bought to build this PC, this is by far my favorite component.

Its a great case as long as your good with wire management

This is a great case for what youre paying for! Coming from an Ncase m1, I wanted to use full sized fans for cooling and try out the exhaust over the power supply since it can get hot to the touch during load. You can easily fit 120mm full size fans everywhere, with the option of 140mm on the side panel. Though there is more empty space compared to the m1, you can route cables somewhat easier by utilizing more open areas. Do note that there is around a 75mm clearance from the top of the gpu slot to the bottom of the fan mount, where my 5700xt nitro barely fits in with 25mm fans in the bottom, prompting me to use screws to prop up the graphics card that would otherwise cause the fans to hit each other due to sag. A 2 or 2.2 slot graphics card will suffice to avoid coming into contact with the bottom fans without spacers. Overall for the price, I can see why people call this case the entry case into sffpcs and why its sold out easily, but compared to a full atx case this really gives you great airflow options for the gpu, cpu, and even the power supply! Pros: Front panel connector shroud, which is something I wish every case and motherboard had! Basically it puts all the power, reset, and led connectors from the i/o panel into a plastic connector which means you dont have to line the wires yourself or put them in one by one into the motherboard header. 120mm fan support on the bottom, side, back, and top Two usb 3.0 ports and a headphone jack Higher raised feet for better bottom fan intake/exhaust More space between the motherboard and psu cage so that coolers like the Noctua C14S can utilize bigger fans without rubbing on the power supply Panels are easy to take off and put back on, though the top panel will need more force to take off Cons: No usb-c support, though if youre like me and dont use usb-c or your motherboard has one, then its not a deal breaker. Top panel has non-movable fan holes that you have to use the included fan screws for, and since the mesh on top is folded in some areas to keep it in place, taking off the mesh in an effort to screw in the fans from the top doesnt seem worth doing, where a magnetic dust filter would solve this.

Great build quality and fairly easy to install. Its still a little cramped but that just comes with the form factor. The unit is also very quiet and I really like the optional side panel.

NR200 is a solid sff case and anyone whos built in it can vouch for it. Nothing else more to really say other than the case can fit a lot of high-profile air coolers and often times performs better than most 280mm AIO setups in a sff like this. My only complaint is that the cases top lid came with a missing screw and notch, so it doesnt securely snap on and stay on as well as it should. Also on the left side panel, the magnetic mesh filter thats on the inside was bent. You can clearly see that it was either folded in half somehow or maybe smushed in, because theres a vivid streak straight down the middle. Other than doing some more QC, CoolerMaster case doesnt disappoint.

Good solid quality, and the included components are all great. The V850 power supply comes with custom length, sleeved cables, which is something you dont get if you purchase this power supply separately. Cooler Master put effort into this and didnt simply rob their parts bin like they could have. Even the Master Liquid AIO they include has been customized with longer hoses that place the pump into the perfect spot. The big question I had before buying this, which I never found an answer for by going over this stores product listing, was if an Intel LGA1700 mounting bracket was included to mount the AIO. Im happy to say that yes, one is included, so all of you 12th or 13th Gen Intel guys wont have any problems. For a pretty small case, this thing can accommodate huge graphics cards. Im running an RTX 4080FE, which is the same size as the 4090FE, and the card literally slid right in. If you plan on using the tempered glass side panel like I am, then I would recommend buying a couple of Noctua 120mm slim fans to mount in the bottom, blowing air up at the GPU. All in all my temps have been great, and Im running a 13600K fully unlocked, with an MSI Z790i MPG Edge motherboard and T-Force DDR5 6400 ram.

After finishing my first mini itx build in this case I decided to plan a second build in another one of these cases.

I recently built a system around micro-ATX motherboard and micro-ATX case. At the time of choosing components, I seriously debated if I should go with mini-ITX. I love small cases but I didnt want to pay the premium for going small since SFF parts are usually more expensive. Little time have passed, and every single day, I was itching to switch to ITX platform, almost driving myself crazy. This would mean that I would have to spend more than $300 to get a mini-ITX mobo (~$120), NR200 case ($80), and SFF PSU ($120). That wasnt going to happen. Few days ago, I stumbled upon a post on this case and he said very few micro-ATX motherboards will actually fit in this case. By coincidence, one of those boards was the board in my system. Then, I found another post saying that somebody put a ATX PSU in this case without the bracket using zip ties. If everything works out, only extra expense I would have is for this case at $80. Time to discuss some details of the build. System AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 Powercolor RX 5600 XT Red Dragon Corsair Vengeance LPX 2X8GB 3200MHz Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe M.2 ARCTIC Freezer 7 X - CPU Cooler 2 X 120mm White LED PWM fans Aresgame 500W 80+ Bronze PSU Case I chose this case for the clean look, relatively cheap price, and, of course, compatibility with my motherboard. Upon unboxing this case, I was very pleasantly surprised. 1. Build quality - being heavy doesnt always mean high quality, but being light usually mean crap quality. This case is surprisingly heavy and solid 2. Extras - tons of accessories included 1 X 92mm PWM fan, 1 X 120mm PWM fan, 2 X fan grills, 3-way fan header splitter, mount for vertical GPU, small zip ties, and couple of velcro straps Fit / Compatibility / Build 1. Motherboard - my micro-ATX motherboard (230mm X 201mm) barely fits in this case. Only 4 mounting screws meant for ITX boards, but Im not too concerned since GPU is held in place with screws on PCI bracket. 2. Connectors - front panel audio connector was too short for this motherboard. But I never, ever use it so no problem for me. Everything else fits and reaches just fine. 3. CPU Cooler - CoolerMaster lists clearance up to 155mm, Freezer 7 X at 132.5mm easily fits. 4. GPU - since my mobo is micro-ATX, I had to use bottom two slots of PCI bracket. This doesnt leave room to mount fans on the bottom of the case. 5. PSU - my ATX PSU is mounted against front panel with daisy-chained zip ties. You can buy 3D-printed brackets to mount ATX PSU to NR200 from *bay, but this is additional cost and Im cheap. 6. Fans - used included fan splitter to mount 3 fans to a single fan header. 1 included 92mm as exhaust, 2 X 120mm fan on top of case also as exhaust. PSU fan will also exhaust to top of the case. Performance / Thermals The system is just as cool compared to my micro-ATX case with 5 X 120mm fans. Even though space is cramped, channeled airflow with everything exhausting through top really shines in this case. I havent and have no plans to overclock my CPU past base PBO of 4.2ghz, idle (35C-45C), load (60C-72C), plenty cool for my usage. GPU is very close to bottom mesh panel and gets plenty of fresh air, idle (32C - 38C), load (60C-70C). Overall this turned out much better than what I had expected. Case looks AMAZING, no regrets at all. Hope some of you find this information useful!
