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)

White NR200P with gen3 riser and glass panel With the mesh panel, the NR200 looks sleek, modern, and clean, perfect for a home office. If you fit the glass panel you can bling out the case with LEDs, logos, and tubing to make it the center of attention, which might be desirable for gamers. The power LED is a pleasant white, not a super bright blue. The method of attachment for the side panels is far superior to thumbscrews; It has easy to use metal pins on the panels that secure them to the case. You have the option of securing the side panels to the case with screws, although if the case is in a private area that is not necessary. Cons: If you use a vertical GPU with a waterblock, the terminals of the waterblock will most likely prevent you from installing at least one of the top fans because the case doesnt have enough vertical space. There isnt much space behind the motherboard tray for routing cables that are not thin. The included 2 120mm fans started to develop a loud rattle and I had to take them out. The product pages for the CM fans never outright say sleeve bearing (they always say sealed long life bearing) but I suspect that they are sleeves and unfortunately their noise made them unbearable. I used them on the top of the case where they laid flat, which sleeve bearing fans always hate. You may be able to get more mileage out of the fans if you mount them to the side panel so that they are standing up.

This 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.

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.

Wish i went with orange but i opted for a pitch black theme for my setup. I would but another in the future

Easiest mini itx build love the case would definitely buy again just buy your back of own screws to my knowledge please dont Quote me but I believe the case takes m3 screws.

Build quality is seriously great, Ive use may ATX cases in the past and it doesnt compare, this ITX case is fantastic the AIO/pre-wiring and power supply saves so much time.

This is case is structurally very solid. The front faceplate is built like a hood on a 60’s Buick. I was also able to fit a Power Color 6700XT Hellhound 3-fan card in this thing! Where it comes up short are things like the vertical GPU mount that they stamp out poorly and use in every case from that manufacturer. What happens is your GPU sits crooked and it looks funny. Also the magnets aren’t strong enough to hold the dust filters to the case so they fall off just sitting there. The metal used where holes are pre-tapped is thin and poor quality so it’s very easy to pull the threads out if you remove screws a couple times or aren’t careful. The next bit could be a real problem for some.. The riser cable which I understand to be Gen 4 capable does not function with MB bios set to “AUTO” or “Gen 4” so I had to pop a Gen 3 limited card in so that I could get into the bios and manually set the board to “Gen 3”. This would require most users to disassemble the pc to do. So I recommend testing the riser before assembly and setting the Pcie slot to “Gen 3” if needed or just slotting the card in and doing that regardless. Kind of disappointing spending all of this money on a new case MB, CPU & GPU and having that one part negate half the reason for spending all of the money, especially considering the cost of this case being quite high. Id also like to note I have a test bench that I tested this riser on as well and was unable to get it to work unless I manually set the bios to Gen 3 prior to using the riser. So that tells me it’s an issue with the riser. Would I recommend this case to a friend? Yeah, I think I would. It’s not terrible, it’s not great but it is fairly good overall. I would however recommend waiting for a sale.

So far I only have my fans and power supply in and I love this case. Super easy so far well see when I get to the GPU.

Simply 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.

This is an excellent case, and one of the few mainstream and affordable small form factor PC cases. Its major relative compromise is the size, which is close to as large as SFF gets. The case is also heavier than most SFF cases, being mostly made of steel, versus aluminum or plastic. However, it has nearly no size or cooling limitations in its class. Aesthetically, it follows the general SFF PC trend of minimalist design. Anything I have planned for my build, be it the largest GPU I can afford, or adding some old 3.5 hard drives to my system, are possible in this case, which is easily transportable, though not quite backpack portable. I wont spend much time talking more about the positives of this case but Ill highlight some of my gripes, which should not be deal breakers, but ways that Cooler Master can improve the case without reducing its capabilities. Though the NR200 can accommodate almost any ITX hardware, its layout design is not completely perfect. I would have appreciated some gaps in the frame or motherboard area for routing cables behind the motherboard. One of my PSU cables is routed between the motherboard panel and the cases right side panel (when looking towards the case), but its the flat kind which raises the cases side panel ever so slightly. Others with round or quality braided cables looking to route their cables behind the motherboard without raising the side case panel will need to route the cables in the gap between the motherboard and the motherboard panel. Unfortunately, they will need to do this before installing the motherboard, and uninstall the mobo every time before disconnecting. Some extra spaces or gaps that allow the cable connectors to slide through would have solved this problem. Another gap for the 24 pin connector would have improved quality of life a little, too, though Im not sure if that would be possible in a practical spot. Having the thick 24 pin cable extending from the PSU in its default position can press down on the GPU without some careful cable management. Fortunately, Cooler Master provided some velcro straps underneath the PSU that help with this a lot, likely because they anticipated this problem for most consumers. Still, I can tell that Cooler Master intended this case to be as easy as possible for beginners, and neat cable management and avoiding pressure on the GPU will likely be a fairly difficult step of building in this case. Finally, the case could perhaps use some lengthier front I/O cables, so that they could have been routed behind the motherboard without blocking the PSU fan. Speaking of front I/O, I would have also preferred a USB type C connector on the front. I can understand that it was not included due to cost, but I would prefer a version of the NR200 with a type C port and no fans, and likely would have even paid $10 more for that tradeoff. My version of the NR200 is the base version which comes with one 92mm fan and one 120mm fan, and the included fans are fine; not exceptionally quiet but not annoyingly loud. Still, I might replace both of them with Noctua fans to get the quietest possible airflow, and the 92mm fan will definitely not fit when I upgrade to the CPU cooler I plan on getting. Though Cooler Master included fans to appeal to customers who will use stock coolers and dont want to worry about aftermarket cooling solutions, they still have an opportunity to cater to more enthusiast consumers (who constitute a large part of the SFF community). Many SFF builders will either not need the included fans, or prefer to choose their own. They likely also prefer having near to mid-term future proof features. A version of this case without fans and a type C port, offered at a small premium, would still be a great deal. My unit also came with a minor defect - the metal frame (not sure of the correct term) of one of the USB ports at the top is not completely connected. The end of the metal frame is bent inwards slightly as shown in the picture. I havent encountered problems while plugging and unplugging USB devices, albeit carefully, into the jack multiple times over the past couple of weeks, so I didnt deduct a star or try to get it replaced. Im optimistic that itll stay as-is and not get bent worse over time. If this is a problem in manufacturing, hopefully Cooler Master can address this issue.
