CCooler Master NR200 Mini-ITX PC Case – Compact High Airflow ITX Gaming Chassis, 280mm Radiator, 330mm Horizontal GPU Mount, 130mm SFX PSU Support, Up to 6 x 120mm Fans, White

I was extremely lucky to stumble upon this case while looking for a Mini-ITX. It's made of durable, good quality metal that's heavy (but not too heavy), small with a lot of room, and extremely versatile (just about every panel of this thing comes off without any tools - just need a screwdriver for the top and bottom panels). It's pretty much perfect for both experts and first-time builders who want a smaller compact PC. This was my very first time building my own PC, and despite it being inside such a small case, the NR200 made it extremely easy to install. There are tons of places for cable management ties with unlimited potentional for different layouts. The case also has so much airflow that it cools the case extremely well. You also can't beat the price either - it's comparable to a Ncase M1 (but slightly bigger) while being less than half the cost. There are only a couple issues that I ran into: - The backside of the case does not have a lot of room to run cables. Not a deal breaker (it was still very doable) but you'll need to strap down the cables on the backside as well in order to get the panel to shut. If it had just another half inch it would be perfect. - There are many mixed answers on this, but the version without the riser does NOT come with a glass side panel (or at least mine didn't). If you want a see-through side panel, you'll have to opt for the PCI riser version. Overall I'm extremely happy with this case, it made my first build in a Mini-ITX case very easy. My PC runs very cool and there's lots of room for expansion once the 20 & 30 series cards drop in price again. My build: - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB - Team T-Force Vulcan TUF 16GB 3200MHz - 512GB M.2 NVMe Boot Drive w/ 2 500GB 2.5 SSDs - Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX MOBO - Corsair SF 450 Watt PSU - 3 x 120mm PWM Fans

The 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. It's been a while since I built a computer and kind of set it and forgot about it. I've 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 didn't 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 wouldn't have gone with this then. So, it's 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, I'd say it was worth the wait. This comes with two minor caveats, for me at least, that I can't 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 I'll 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. I'd 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 it's 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 don't 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 don't 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 they'd still sell a ton. Great case overall, probably never going mid/full size build again because of it.

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 won't spend much time talking more about the positives of this case but I'll 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 case's right side panel (when looking towards the case), but it's the flat kind which raises the case's 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 I'm 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 don't 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 haven't encountered problems while plugging and unplugging USB devices, albeit carefully, into the jack multiple times over the past couple of weeks, so I didn't deduct a star or try to get it replaced. I'm optimistic that it'll stay as-is and not get bent worse over time. If this is a problem in manufacturing, hopefully Cooler Master can address this issue.

Review is for Black, standard version of the NR200 SFF (no riser cable, no windowed side panel) I was looking for a compact case with room to run a long 3 fan 2070 card. This case worked nicely, was easy to build in, and had some decent cable management options built in (like little tie tabs along the framework of the case to tie off to, and velcro straps under the PSU). Other thoughtful features are there are two positions for the PSU bracket, if you are using a standard SFX, or an SFX-L. The side and front covers come off without tools, but they're nice and tight until you're ready to pop them off. The top and bottom covers come off easily as well, but are secured with one screw each. The only conflict I ran into with this case is I used an NZXT Kraken X63 280mm AIO cooler -(RL-KRX63-01) and the radiator doesn't actually fit inside the side mounted radiator bracket. The bracket bolt pattern allows for 280MM radiators, but the top and bottom edges of the bracket are bent at 90 degree angles and the resulting opening is slightly smaller than the Kracken 280 radiator's top to bottom dimension. I had to spread the bracket's folded sheetmetal edges back a bit on the top and bottom to squeeze the cooler in place, the solution was not elegant, but it allowed the cooler to fit. This 280 cooler also barely fit with-wise within the opening of the case's frame, but it worked so long as the cooling lines were positioned to be on the hing side of the bracket (and not the side that the bracket bolts to the case-frame). Biggest negative for me was the thinner sheetmetal where the motherboard actually bolts into, the tray has a nice big cutout on the back to access cooler backplates, but the but the thinness of the metal, plus the big opening makes the motherboard tray flex more than any other case I can remember building in. Not a deal breaker, and shouldn't make a difference once the machine is assembled, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, the case is pretty heavy for it's size. I was planning to buy one of the windowed versions of this case as well, but they sold out early.

This is a nice case. I like that it cane with a 280mm AIO and an 850 watt PSU (a high quality one at that). This case is pretty easy to build in as all the panels can simply pop off to make it easier to route cables. This case also seems sturdy and looks like it will last a good while. This case is kind of tall for an ITX case but that is because of the radiator at the top. My only complaint is the 140mm fans that come with the case are lacking, especially for my overclocked Ryzen 7 9700X. The solution for that problem is I adden a pair of slim 120mm fans to the bottom and use the mesh side panel instead of the glass one. I also replaced the Cooler Master SickleFlow140’s with Arctic P14 Pro PST’s and while those fans are a bit louder than the CM’s, the Arctics made my system go from being at TjMax (85C) to never exceeding 75C even when I play Madden (which tends to be extreme CPU intensive). The Sickleflow fans are probably adequate for a non overclocked CPU or a Ryzen 5 though. Another thing that can help with CPU temps is undervolting your GPU or running the fans as intakes so the radiator gets less heat from there.

I love this case. It's well built, relatively easy to assemble, and looks great. I'm a beginner to building and this is my second PC build. I built the first one 10 years ago for gaming, and it lasted me longer than any other PC I have ever owned, which is why I chose to build another instead of buying a preassembled one. My old PC is still running well, and pretty fast too, but it doesn't have the specifications for newer updates (e.g., Windows 11, 4k display, and specifications for software updates). The main purpose of this second PC build is to be able to run statistical and data analysis software for grad school, be able to handle programing and also be gaming capable if I ever do decide to play. I wanted a small ITX PC that I can easily take with me if I need to attend school in another city. I also wanted it to look more professional than some of the typical gaming PCs out there. This case has great reviews and has a well thought-out design in terms of cooling and cable management. It met all of my criteria. It comes with an AIO, power supply, and thermal paste. Before receiving the case I was a bit concerned about the quality, but it is actually very sturdy and well built. Panels are easy to remove and put on, without too many screws. They are held in place by the design of the case. The panels clicks into the structure of the case. There is no concern about panels falling out. I did not have any issue with fitting the motherboard or other components into the case, but it is small inside and would be difficult to remove components. I had to unplug a couple of cords to try to read the serial number on the side of the motherboard and that was not fun. Overall, very satisfied with this case and would recommend it. If I have to build another computer, I would choose this case without a doubt. Out of all the components I bought to build this PC, this is by far my favorite component.

Seriously one of the best ITX cases you can buy for the money. If you don't care about RGB puke and just need a great looking, SFF case for your hardware but dont want to spend $200 on a Fractal case (with worse airflow), then this case is for you. Fits my full sized 9070XT and 6 120MM fans. GPU temps under full load are UNDER 60°!! That is INSANE for a SFF case. CPU temps stay under 70° under sustained full load. I cannot recommend this case enough. Its such a breathe of fresh air to have a company not put a ridiculous markup on a product just because its SFF.

great case quality. sturdy and extremly well ventilated.fits a asrock 9060xt easily.went with the 850 watt coolermaster power supply.arctic freezer 3 pro 240 and a asrock z790m-itx wifi board with a i7-14700 cpu.excellent build!the case has many options for power supply mounting.and multiple case fns if needed.i cant get over the sturdy thick build quality of this case.the case is a little bigger then i expected.but flows air well for high end gaming builds. cable management is well hidden for a clean look.i like the dust filter on bottom of case for easy clean up when needed as well.
