> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayThis case is awesome, well designed, well made. This was my first computer build, and my son, who has some experience, questioned my decision to go with the NR200P given the additional challenge of working in a small space--until he saw it in person. He was so impressed, he wanted one for himself. Here is my build: Intel Core i7-12700K ASUS ROG Strix B660-I (mini-ITX) Nvidia RTX 3070FE GPU Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 16 x 2 RAM (rgb) EVGA Supernova 750W SFX power supply (note small form factor) SK Hynix Platinum P41 2 TB m.2 SSD SK Hynix Platinum P41 1 TB m.2 SSD Thermalright Silver Soul 135 white cooler Arctic P9 PWM PST 92mm fan Arctic BioniX F120 fans x 2 Chassis fan hub CPU Cooling (the really cryptic looking one) Noteworthy: The Thermalright cooler DOES fit, even with the glass side. Actually has some room to spare. The Kingston RAM has only about 2mm clearance from the cooling tower. But 2mm is enough. My fan hub sits behind the front panel, nicely hidden, because its not pretty. I routed several things behind that panel. You can also place SSDs there, but mine are both m.2, directly plugged into the MB, so that front panel was wide open for wires. I added two fans on the bottom and one at the back. Based on my review of the literature (YouTube), the best airflow with a cooling tower is to intake from the bottom and back, and exhaust thru the top. Including the fan in the center of my cooling tower, I have 6 fans in here and no problems with heat. The two stock fans are on top. I did add a magnetic filter on the back to block off the openings back there. My computer sits right next to an air filter which is right next to a chinchilla cage, with hair and dust floating everywhere. ______________________________________ Everyone talks about the challenge of routing the cables in such a small case. For me, this was the fun part and I was very happy with the outcome. Like I said, Im a first time builder, so I have no experience. Which means you can do it too. You can decide based on the pics whether you think I did a decent enough job. Just ordered another NR200P for a surprise system for my dad. Hope it goes as well as the first one, but if it doesnt, the problem wont be the case! LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors, too! I wouldve gone with pink if it hadnt been $50 more at the time of my build. Even thought about getting one now and switching everything out, but decided not to rock the boat.

> 3 dayNR200 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.

Greater than one weekI used this for a gaming PC build. No issues whatsoever; I am very satisfied with the quality of the material. Easy to disassemble for access and air flow from bottom seems good due to the design of the slightly elevated legs.

Greater than one weekOverall, the case is very well built and easy to build in, which was great. One problem though - because of the design of the MAX version of the case, where theyve moved the motherboard down to fit in the top radiator, you are forced to use the riser cable to mount the GPU to the motherboard. No problem, I thought. If it goes bad, either Ill just replace it or Ill RMA the riser or something. Surely, Cooler Master has thought this through. (Spoiler: They didnt) Everything worked fine for awhile, it seemed, but then I started getting random crashes. Oh no! Tested all my hardware, then ran it all together but without the riser - no problems. Assemble it again, and boom - problems immediately back. Yep, its the riser. So it shouldnt be a problem, right? Just get a replacement and youre good to go? Nope! The company is unable to honor the warranty in a timely manner, because the parts are backordered and they have no idea when theyll be in stock again - all they can promise is that itll be Q3 of this year. And since the graphics card MUST be mounted with the riser cable, which is so absurdly short you wont find a decent replacement anywhere, you will be essentially left in the dust if yours dies on you, unless you just have extra cases lying around for some reason. Thank God Amazon decided to come through and give me a refund, because otherwise Id be stuck with my riser in my hand, if you know what I mean. TL;DR - It was a great case, but when it relies on something as finicky as a riser, youd think theyd be better prepared for the issues thatll inevitably arise. Not so for Cooler Master - at least, not this time. My advice, either avoid this case, or simply wait until the supply issues are resolved. Or, if you have money to burn, I guess just buy one and pray yours lasts longer than mine did.

> 3 daySimply put, best itx case. It runs on the larger side of itx cases yes, but what that means for you is: improved thermals, space for high end components with no compromises. I put an evga 2080ti XC Ultra , deepcool castle ex280mm aio, two slim fans under the gpu, x2 2.5 SSD’s, the 120m fan it comes with as exhaust to give you an idea of how much it fits. The case itself comes with a 92m fan on the back and a 120m for the top. A 280mm cooler is going to interfere with the small fan on the back so you will have to remove it, and if you’re using an sfx-l psu, it will interfere with a top fan at the top. (Check pics)I’m going to try with a slim fan at top to see if it fits fine. The thermals in this case are simply amazing. I’m running a 10th gen i9 with a gentle 5ghz oc and it idles at 33c, 45-55c while gaming and 86c under stress testing. Cooler master did a HECK of a job with this case honestly. I always wanted to build in an itx case but was always put off by the all the compromises. Cooler master did an impressive job with such a small case by allowing you to pack as much hardware as possible without choking the internals. Overall, the case looks beautiful. Minimalist, the white looks absolutely gorgeous.

> 3 dayThis case is the best ITX case by a huge measure out of the four Ive owned. Highly customizable, fits a full size RTX 4070 ti, and used a bracket for HD for mounting my CPU radiator for blowing directly out the side of the case. Would recommend highly.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayI purchased this case and coolermaster psu + Corsair water cooler. I wish I purchased the nr200 max. I failed to notice that this case doesn’t allow top mounting of the radiator. But I don’t want to return everything. I lay the pc on its side to have the radiator above the pump. And getting custom length cables from pslate customs. I’m sure I could have avoided this by getting the Nr200 max. Edit: ended up returning this and got the nr200 max. Couldn’t be happier. Only down side is that the pump is making a small noises unlike the Corsair aio
