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)

I upgraded to this case from a Cougar QBX. The QBX was a low cost alternative to the nCase M1 when that came out a few years ago. The NR200 is the exact same internal layout as both of those cases minus a spot for a optical drive. This case was a little cheaper months ago when it released but it has increased in price rightfully so as it is a great case. Do not pay $$$ for a kickstarter SFF case unless you have the budget and the patience. This case has a great fit and finish. It is dimentionally slightly smaller than my QBX so it will fit into a backpack AND fit in the underseat compartment on most airplanes. Ive got the Scythe Mugen 5 rev.B on an Asus z170i pro motherboard and the side panel closes fully with a milimeter to spare without the crosspanel installed. Airflow is great with the mesh sidepanels. I like that there is an abundance of filters on this case and the tooless capability makes it very easy to work in for regular maintenance or upgrades. Plenty of room for bigger modern hardware (whenever there is hardware to actually purchase these days). I think the price is still competitive as long as it doesnt climb above $100.

building this case was a joy. Its small but with all the panels removed everything was very accessible. First mini-itx build surprised how powerful I was able to build this thing. X570i mobo, 5600x cpu, rx6800 gpu. This thing is a beast of a gamer. Just need a new 4k monitor lol

Overall, 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.

I 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.

The items its self is fine just did not fit the new Video card I got for Christmas. The issue is the item was returned and lost in shipping. I have chatted to several Amazon reps and they all say they will process a return by XX or I can take care of that now. Last week I was told the refund was processed and still nothing. Not waiting to bring down the seller but not sure how else to get my refund. Update: I was finally able to get a refund so my star rating is now just for the build and quality of the case.

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.

This is without a doubt the best approach to a case that can house full form factor, ATX size components without compromise. In current I am running a i9-9900k at 5.1 ghz, cooled by a nzxt x63 280 mm radiator. The temperatures of the CPU top out at about 70 C and the fans are dead silent. Mounted in the rear portion is a gigantic evga rtx 3080 ftw3 that takes up every bit of space spare a tiny bit in the front for airflow. The temperatures here are not amazing, but for a mini itx, 80-Ish C is quite acceptable. The fans do have to rev up and is a little noisy, but nothing to worry about, even with desktop speakers. You won’t be bothered unless you are a “everything must be dead silent “ enthusiast. I recommend getting a strip of poly foam to place between the case interior, bottom shelf, and rear of the graphics card to tone down gpu sag. It’s likely not an issue, but for me, I bought mini itx to enjoy moving it to LAN parties; the extra protection guarantees you won’t mess up your multi thousand dollar investment. Overall I find the clean, led-less build to be extremely satisfying, much nice to have extra desk space for the giant aw3418 ultra wide that sits next to it. The build IS tough, though. I sent a few hours putting it together iteratively as cable management was tricky. An after market braided cable set will likely make this easier, so if you don’t mind spending an extra 50 dollars, do it. Well done and bravo Cooler Master.

This is a really good value buy for anyone looking to build a SFF PC. The base NR200 comes with 1 120mm fan and 1 92mm fan, so exhaust is covered out of the box. Depending on how you plan to cool your CPU and GPU, you might want to consider another one of the Sickle 120mm fans from Cooler Master. The fans are good and dont sound too loud in my build with a 3700x and 2060. There are 7 spots for fans, 6 of which are 120mm. Three slots for the graphics card is forward thinking and means you could throw a real monster in here if you wanted. The PSU can either be mounted beside the motherboard or moved to the front. For owners of the ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming motherboard (like me), you will need the front location since the SATA ports will be blocked otherwise. Cooler Master did a good job giving options. This fits mini ITX motherboards (and DTX), but I dont think Micro Atx will fit. SATA drives can be mounted to the front panel of the case in a nifty compartment like a N1 or to the side mounting bracket or even the PSU bracket. It offers a fair amount of storage options. Overall, its rock solid. My only complaint is that the material is a little thin and flimsy, so Id like to see the manufacturing process improved in a revision of this. Id also like to see USB C on the front panel IO as an option for a revision. Tl;DR This probably replaces the Silverstone SG13 as the go to affordable SFF case.

Love the case. Big fan of the NR200 line and not the first one Ive built in. The case does not feel cheap in any way and I had plenty of cooling space to fit an 12900k with a kraken x52 with 6 fans, 2 NVMe drives and 2 SSDs along with an EVGA RTX 3070 XC. I docked 1 star because the issue that almost had me return the case was the riser cable. When I plugged my GPU through the riser cable, my computer system would slow down after a few minutes to the point of stutter when the doing simple web browsing. When lauching a video game the render latency was extremly high and would only run at 15-20 FPS. Event viewer would show error Component: PCI Express Root Port, Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express). Eventualy the PC would crash and restart. I had to remove the riser cable from the equation in order for this issue to be resolved so now I have a usless part I paid for laying around (the cable isnt even straight and it puts your GPU in an uneven position) It felt like it was putting unecessary stress on the Mobos and GPUs PCIe connectors. The PCIe gen 3 fix in bios did not fix this issue. Because of this I had to completly re orient my cooling setup to what you see in the second picture. I docked another star because now I cant use the glass panel with the AIO radiator mounted on the side. The other issue I have is with the buttons on the front. The top panel sits flush with the case but the power button has to be pressed extremely hard for them to click the buttons in the circuit board below. The same goes for the reset button. It looks like the front circuit board is mounted a little too low for the buttons to travel down properly to make conact. Not a deal breaker but still irksome. All in all I love the first NR200 I bought in white but that one didnt come with a riser cable or the nuisance that comes with it. This one is still a good value if youre willing to overlook those issues. My advice would be to just get the base model and avoid the issues the come with the riser cable. Edit: Reached out directly to Coolermaster and they were kind enough to send me a replacement riser cable. The one that came in the box had a purple ribbon on it. The replacement was all black, not sure if thats a different Gen but I tried the cable and the frame rate issue/crashes persisted

I 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.
