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 was the basis for my first build. I needed an SFF build due to space limitations. This case fit the bill, and having the AIO and power supply installed and cables routed was very nice. It was easy enough to build in. Some of the cable routing between the mouther board and power supply, and at the top between the motherboard and AIO fans was tough, but nothing that can be dealt with, with a bit of patience. My only con here is that the stock fans on the AIO are meh at best, and could not properly cool the Intel i5 13600k (its on a B660 motherboard so it is not overclocked). I have since replaced them with a higher speed Noctua 3000 rpm fan and set a reasonable fan curve and the i5 13600k stays nice and cool now. I would highly recommend this case.

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.

I picked this case up on Amazon Prime day for $33 after a huge discount down to something around $77, and with a $50 amazon gift card. I have very little to say about this case, but all of it is positive 1.) I was expecting cable management to be much more difficult than it was. If you have zip ties, it should be a breeze, but time consuming 2.) Build quality is fantastic. the entire case is so solid that I feel like I could slam it against my desk only to break the desk before I dent the case. The front panel is also very very thick, moreso than any other part of the case. The entire thing with the exception of some trim seems to be made of aluminum. 3.) This thing will fit just about any hardware you could want in it. I recommend using a 2 slot graphics card if you want to fit intake fans at the bottom,as with a 3 slot card you need thin intake fans. and I also recommend not using more than 2 radiators for a custom loop system, and just using more fans. 4.) Cooling performance is fantastic. Temps are in the 40s for my 5600x using an NZXT 280mm AIO, and temps in the 70s for my 3 slot 980ti.

One of the best cases Ive ever built in - the snap on side covers are so convenient to get in and out and youll have no issues so long as you knoq how to build a PC properly and keep your cables neat!

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.

Very easy to put together, its overall a nice case but not worth the $500 price ($150 over msrp). LGA 1700 has been introduced for quite some time now but this over priced case doesnt even include bracket for 12 & 13 gen cpu?

Fit my micro atx board, 1080ti ftw hybrid and full size atx psu (180mm length). I also have a 20tb iron wolf pro as well. Now I had to get creative and drill a few extra mounting holes for the hardware but temps are stable and with in reason while gaming. As for the included top mounting 120fans I did have to get a ultra slim 13mm to fit and use pop rivets to attach but it worked great.

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.
