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)

Amazing case, first micro build. Couldn’t be happier with this product.

Pros: size, quality, options, thermals. Cons: sneaky limitations. Obviously if youre looking at this case, youre thinking about building a small computer. That being said, ensure you check the measurements on everything and research whether or not your exact products will work in this case. For those using an air cooler and M.2 drives, this is a fantastic case with many options for airflow and customizations. For those using custom water loops, the mounting options may be limited, but you can pack a powerful system inside with no issues. For those like me that were downgrading from a full-size tower and wanted to keep some of those components, the path gets super tricky. I had seen an AIO mounted in this case through tutorial videos, and the case did specify it was able to hold a 3.5 hard drive in more than one location. However, if youre using both an AIO and a 3.5 drive, youll either need to hard-mod the case to get it to fit or mess up the airflow. The 120 AIO i have now fits, but the bends near the barbs are concerningly tight. Everything else about the case is fantastic. Tool-less access to components for easy swapping, quality build metal and mesh, SO small, and beginner friendly if this is your first ITX build.

This is hands down the most flexible and easy to use mini itx case for the beginners and the experts. It is such a joy to work in this case to fit your built. I have a 240aio and a full size gpu in there. Replaced all the fans with a low profile 120mm fans. You get plenty of cooling from all the vented panels with mesh all around the case. The case looks good and easy to transport or move anywhere. If you are somebody that just like small case and want to have a small footprint for a pc this is a bagger or even someone who want a pc and like to travel around. This is really such a great case for the price,

I purchased this case with the intent to downsize from a full tower NZXT Phantom. For those who want an estimate on the size difference, this case is roughly 1/4 the volume of the NZXT case mentioned above. The effort towards building in this case was a tedious and extensive process. I ended up using EVERY feature on this case such as the side mount GPU bracket for an extra USB card and fitting a m.2 to PCIe x4 adapter on the bottom slot for a capture card. I even managed an EK AIO 240 as well into this case! After all of that, I have never had a smoother and cooler system despite the size of the case. Pros: 1. Up to 5 expansion slots (2 slots are optional for side mounted for GPUs) 2. 5 side venting 3. 3 magnetic dust filters and fine pitch top grate 4. AIO liquid cooling mounting bracket 5. Compatible with triple(3) slotted GPUs 6. Simple yet effective design Cons: 1. Difficult to build in 2. Spacing between back of front panel and PSU slightly too short for larger HDDs (It could really expand on the ability of this if it had that extra 2 mm) 3. Easy SSD mount screws dont seem to fit the threading of some older SSDs?(not confirmed) Conclusion: TLDR: The quick fast easy answer to this is that this case is amazing but its hard to build in. I would not suggest anyone get this case unless they either have very little going into their system or they have an expert they can call to assemble this system. Assembly Notes: This case provided a large amount of different screws mostly all in the same thread, size and type. It also comes with two different size fans, two fan grills, and a handful of zip ties for cable management. I ended up using every feature of this case I could and still had quite a few parts left over in case I were to lose something in the future. If you are one who wants to use the AIO Cooler features of this case a note, I had to flip my case on its side to make sure the pump pushed all of the air bubbles to the reservoir before setting it on its feet again. You technically cannot mount a large HDD in this with a 240mm radiator as well. Final Thoughts: I absolutely love this case for everything I managed to fit into it. If you or a build expert you may know are up for the challenge, its a really fun but tedious build. The end results are worth it as far as cooling and size goes. I strongly recommend this case.

Always been a fan of ITX builds. This is my third so far. Very impressed that it came with cables pre routed, an AIO, and a PSU. I could not find any answers online that said if this case came with a 1700 bracket. The description on Amazon said you would have to buy one. Turns out it does come with one. Worked well for my 13k i7. I also managed to squeeze a 3090 TI into this case with no issues. There was even some clearance left towards the front panel where I could route cables.

Updated review: The front panel connectors come Presleeved allowing you to plug all 8 pins in at once instead of individually. This is great but I failed to check to see if the way they had their cable sleeved would line up with the pins on my motherboard. After several rebuilds I feel like an idiot cause I didn’t think of it. Make sure you check the way your cables are sleeved and check your motherboard manual and make sure the connections line up properly or you’ll probably spend a whole bunch of time trying to fix a computer blindly. Outside of that tedious issue, the case has been great so far I was able to fit a scythe fuma 2 inside however the hardrive tray/radiator bracket couldn’t be reinstalled. Thermals have been great mid 60s on an overclocked Ryzen 7 3700. Also with the fuma I was able to fit 2 full size 120mm fans at the top (artic p12s) and with a 2 slot gpu (5700xt) I was also able to fit 2 full size 120mm fans (also artic p12s) This was my first time building inside any itx case, outside of me not checking the front panel connectors it was really straight forward. Cable management is a little tough personally I would recommend custom cables that way it’s not as bulky as the stock cables you get in any power supply. I would also hugely recommend a modular power supply (like I have in the picture) so you only have the cables you need and it’s not a complete rats nest. Also zip ties or twist ties are your best friends, I see a lot of people build their computer and leave their cables all over the place don’t be that person.

Great case! Easy to build in, accommodates lots of different hardware, and excellent cooling! I bought the NR200P vs the NR200 specifically to vertically mount my GPU with a bottom mounted AIO radiator based on Cooler Master product photos I saw of that configuration. However, only after purchasing did I find out PC building experts warn against bottom mounting AIOs, so I never used the vertical GPU mount or glass panel, they just sit in a closet. Side mounted the radiator instead which is ok, but arguably less visually appealing. If you want to vertically mount your GPU, better to get the NR200 MAX now that it’s available or just get a normal NR200. Don’t really see use of “P” model unless you air cool your CPU.

Tool less design is amazing, my top noctua fans arrived late and removing the radiator via the top instead of dismounting the mobo is great. Plenty of space behind the board for cables, be careful as any protruding cables will make the Tool less back panel pop off, I wish there were f it holes to hold it on but I distress. Plenty of space for slim fans at the bottom. Even though the thermals are worse I highly recommend top exhaust/bottom intake if you plan to keep this near you on your desk. Water pump is quiet, although I wasnt a fan of the stock case fans, quite loud.

The quality of the case is top notch; airflow in this case is awesome; looks like something Apple would make. This is my first ground up computer build and this case has made it very simple. I have 5 case fans running in my build. To me this is the perfect size. its larger than the typical ITX case but smaller than a typical mATX case; basically right in the middle. seems to be standard for an ITX motherboard to have 2 NVME slots so the need for an SSD is more for if you want just extra storage. This case allows for 2 SSD mounted just behind the face plate and one 3.5 HDD which can be mounted on the PSU support. because of this cases size, I can mount a normal size (not a slim) optical drive on the bottom cover plate where a 120 mm fan would go. So on the bottom plate I have a single 120 mm fan vs 2, and I have a full sized internal optical drive. now the case is not designed to have an optical drive in it and that is ok. if you want access to the drive just pop off the front face plate, and you will have the full access. the lower opening in the in the front support bracket will allow for the DVD drive door to open without issue. I suspect that Cooler Master will come out with an optical drive version of this case soon as the opening I mentioned if it were only 2 mm wider would allow the optical drive body fit thru it. over all I would recommend this case. you could fit like I have 2 slim 120 mm fans at the top, 2 - 140 mm fans on the side bracket (one is mounted on the CPUs air cooler; NH-C14s), a single 120 mm fan on the bottom plate, a full sized internal optical drive on the bottom plate, a 92 mm fan on the back, on of those half sized graphics cards. even with all this still have room to fit a 3.5 HDD on the PSU support.

Overall, the case is amazing. The materials are solid and the finish is beautiful. That being said, this case needs to be sold as a bare-bone. My included psu has really bad coil whine when gaming. (Used a mechanics stethoscope to very it was psu and not gpu). Not to mention that many new cards are recommending 1000w PSUs. I love the layout of this version over the standard nr200p. I had to change out the included fans with some Noctua ones and set them as intakes. Also added slim Noctua fans to the bottom as an exhaust. My Ryzen 7700x and RX6800xt both stay in the 50s to low 60s when gaming. If it wasn’t for the PSU coil whine and the price, this would be a 5 star review. Which is the other point. This case would be the best itx case on the market at $349, which is what it was originally rumored to be at. Over $400 is just insane for this, especially with the poor PSU choice. I would still recommend the case, it just needs to be released as a bare-bones at $120-$149
