Greater than one weekI love almost everything about this case. My Number One complaint is layout for the Vertical GPU and AIO at the bottom of the case. By mounting the AIO on the bottom (recommended by CM) youre causing the pump to be at the top of the loop which reduces performance and increases noise. This could have been avoided if CM had designed to the top of the case to allow an AIO. But of course youre not required to use this layout nor does using it cause any type of failure. Its just not optimal nor is it recommended by any AIO manufacturer. They just arent designed to be oriented that way. With that aside, this case is phenomenal. I love the ventilation this case offers, along with the style from the side panel. I built my case using the Aorus X570 Pro Wifi Mini ITX MOBO, Lian Li 240mm AIO, Two SSDs mounted at the front, Corsair SFX600 PSU, and a GTX 1070 (until 3080s are readily available). Cable management was great considering the size of the case and using stock PSU cables. The AIO tube routing leaves a lot to be desired but works none the less. The fans included with the case are decent, and I love the no tool design for quickly removing fans as needed. The front IO is perfect for my needs but I could see some wishing for more. If youre looking for a nice SFX case to build in, I think this should be a top contender on your list. Its a fantastic case, and is a breeze to build in. CM has outdone themselves with the engineering with this case, but there are still improvements that can be made. Im happy with my purchase, and would do it again.

> 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.

> 3 dayThis 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,

> 3 dayThis care is is just about perfect! Small, great build quality, and can fit full large gpus. You can tell they really mapped out every aspect of this case thorough. The only gripe I have is that there is no usb c port on the case but no big deal as my motherboard as one. I am actually surprised they even include an extra side panel if you want to switch between perforated or glass. I highly recommend this case to anyone looking to move to a smaller size for travel or extra room on your desk!

> 3 dayCable management is difficult, especially for a first time mini itx build.. What else can I say? I managed to squeeze and 3090ti Fe inside.

> 3 dayThe TLDR is that this case is great. I bought another to build a new work computer, and both cases are keeping cool. I did replace the fans with Scythe 140mm fans on the radiator and 120mm slim fans for the bottom on both my home and work builds since both are similar enough. Its been a while since I built a computer and kind of set it and forgot about it. Ive dusted out the home machine once since I got that one. Otherwise my only gripe was the paint on the original case but again, that literally buffed out. The second case didnt even have much in the way of spots on the paint or anything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Original review below: I had an original nr200 that I moved an old itx build into about a year ago and loved it. I honestly wish I had kept it instead of selling and keeping my atx build. But I probably wouldnt have gone with this then. So, its a win. After waiting 7+ months for this case, between seeing it in reviews and not knowing where to get it until it hit Amazon/Newegg, Id say it was worth the wait. This comes with two minor caveats, for me at least, that I cant imagine many people have run into. I got my *first* delivery and was missing the riser cable and one of the pcie power cables. The box looked unopened so Ill say it was a packing issue from the factory. I did try to just go through the order page to exchange it but was only given the option to return. Id imagine this is due to the cost of the item as a whole. A call with an Amazon rep got this turned into an exchange. The second little gripe I have is with the paint. On the first and second item, the paint looked a little weird. Not really scuffs but I had to take a little polish to the panels to clean them up. Not a big deal, but if someone is paying close to or over 450 for this great package, and technically for a specific color, I would think the qc on the paint would be a better. I popped an x570i Strix board with my 5900x and Strix 3080. Everything fit like a glove. The cooler does have a little whine in the pump but I keep the machine of to the side and have a fan on most of the time so its not audible. I did change the top fans out though for the Silverstone Penatrator ARGB fans to get a little more flair but the stock fans were more than capable of get the hot air through the radiator. I matched these up with their 120mm Slimmer fans. If you dont already have a computer built or want to downsize from an ATX build like my situation, this is the way to go. Be weary that the psu comes with 2x PCIE power cables that have 2 plugs daisy chained each. I dont really see this as a problem but I know there are disadvantages to this according to the internet pc building gods. I had a custom cable made anyway to add a third and there are plenty of people on etsy that can provide such a product or a full set of cables if needed. I paired this with a set of those 90 degree adapters too so it looks extra clean. I think if Coolermaster sold this version of the case, without the psu, cooler, riser, etc, for the same price as the normal nr200, I think theyd still sell a ton. Great case overall, probably never going mid/full size build again because of it.

> 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 daySo 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.

> 3 dayOverall, 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.

15-04-2025Its so easy to do a build in this case. It looks amazing. Keeps the dust out really well. You can fit full-sized cards in it. Highly recommend.
