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)

Ive been working in ITX cases for about a year, and love that a mainstream manufacturer is finally engaging in the SFF space. The NR200 is pretty easy to build in, with great compatibility and airflow—two things that stymie first-time builders. I chose to move a custom loop over from the Streacom DA2, which has a similar layout, but is significantly more difficult to manage thermals in. Overall, the value + build quality is better than what youd expect for under $100, but the materials + craftsmanship cant compare with boutique ITX enclosures. Its got pretty flexible mounting options, but when you encounter friction, there isnt really anywhere to budge. I had to Dremel out some additional notches in the side bracket to raise my 240mm radiator slightly, to avoid colliding with the 90º fitting on my GPU block—but this treads pretty far outside the typical use case. A few other niceties: - Access to all sides of the build made it a cinch to work in; - Side panel attachment is clever; - Included dust filters are a nice bonus; - Finish is pretty consistent, inside and out—nice, toothy powder-coating; My only other major complaint is the top panel: its the only bit of plastic on the case, and doesnt fit with the otherwise reserved design. Id like to have seen a flat mesh panel, without the odd off-center solid band, and a quieter sub-structure. Even just another flat steel/aluminum panel like the sides would have been a significant improvement. The pump mounting holes are pretty neat, although not super useful for an optimized custom loop, for which youd probably need to use the side radiator space. Could have been nice to replace the fixed hole pattern with some flexible slatted mount points, to increase compatibility—for example, I couldnt find a good place to tie down my Aquacomputer Quadro, which didnt match any existing spacing. The Sliger Cerberus has a great front panel for this. In some respects, the NR200 is just a poorly-optimized Ncase M1 or Dan C4 clone—but Id prefer to think that its more Cooler Master dipping its toes into smaller cases, and that well see more novel options in the future.

As the title says, I am in love with this case. I suppose I should go into a bit more detail :) Build quality is solid and feels very nice. For a small form factor case, it is shockingly easy to build in and can fit basically anything you want to fit in it within reason. Fits my 3090 and Im about to install an Arctic 280 AiO. Ill update the review if it doesnt fit, but Ive seen many other people saying that it does fit. Most of the screws that you will need to work with to disassemble the case are the exact same screw, so theres no need to worry about forgetting which goes where. This is an especially nice feature. Temps are superb. Im currently using a Noctua NH-L9A for the CPU (until the Arctic 280 gets installed) and Prime95 couldnt get the CPU past the 60s with two top Arctic P12s as exhaust. My SG-13 was a sweltering 85+ with the same cooler and a single front intake. Oh yeah, and the case looks really nice. Thats subjective I suppose, but I reckon most people will agree. Thats all for now. If youre on the fence, just buy the dang case already.

One of the best cases Ive ever built in - the snap on side covers are so convenient to get in and out and youll have no issues so long as you knoq how to build a PC properly and keep your cables neat!

This case is great. You can fit a 3.5” hdd inside of here if you are mindful with your cable management. A little hard to see but the second pic was my 3.5” hdd configuration before I upgraded to an ssd.

Ive built dozens of sff computers and I love this case. I 3D printed a modified ATX holder and use an ATX power supply. You can download the print files on cooler master website. I painted the case to go along with a Halo theme and it was extremely easy to take the panels off. Good quality all around. I went with the vertical mount option to compensate for the atx power supply and it works great. Only issue you may run into with this setup is cooling. So far so good, Im running a Ryzen 5600x with a low profile cooler and a 3060ti. Temps are good but if I was running a 5900x and 3080ti the temps may get pretty hot. In all I will but this case again. Looks awesome.

Updated review: The front panel connectors come Presleeved allowing you to plug all 8 pins in at once instead of individually. This is great but I failed to check to see if the way they had their cable sleeved would line up with the pins on my motherboard. After several rebuilds I feel like an idiot cause I didn’t think of it. Make sure you check the way your cables are sleeved and check your motherboard manual and make sure the connections line up properly or you’ll probably spend a whole bunch of time trying to fix a computer blindly. Outside of that tedious issue, the case has been great so far I was able to fit a scythe fuma 2 inside however the hardrive tray/radiator bracket couldn’t be reinstalled. Thermals have been great mid 60s on an overclocked Ryzen 7 3700. Also with the fuma I was able to fit 2 full size 120mm fans at the top (artic p12s) and with a 2 slot gpu (5700xt) I was also able to fit 2 full size 120mm fans (also artic p12s) This was my first time building inside any itx case, outside of me not checking the front panel connectors it was really straight forward. Cable management is a little tough personally I would recommend custom cables that way it’s not as bulky as the stock cables you get in any power supply. I would also hugely recommend a modular power supply (like I have in the picture) so you only have the cables you need and it’s not a complete rats nest. Also zip ties or twist ties are your best friends, I see a lot of people build their computer and leave their cables all over the place don’t be that person.

The ITX space is growing but still has limited options. This case checks most of the boxes for ITX build but my only concern is the custom AIO in the case. Just know that if you ever have an issue with your AIO you can not buy another brand or even a CoolerMaster off the shelf. This is a custom built AIO for the case so if it goes bye bye then you have to work directly with CM to get another. In my case I purchased 2 of these. The first one was fine but there must of been air bubbles caught in the pump because it would constantly crackle in that area. I disconnected all the fans and even the gpu and ensured the sound was from the pump. I purchased another and it seemed fine but once again after a day of use I started hearing the crackle. I contacted CM and they were great but they were going to have me send it in. I didnt want to deal with this down the road. There are many ITX cases that you can build with off the shelf parts so if something dies or goes wrong you can quickly get a replacement. Case is awesome but I wish the AIO wasnt custom. If they could design it where you could use any 280mm AIO that would be a 10/10.

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.

Its definitely bigger than my previous Dan Case A4 V4 but I like the ease of having better cooling capabilities and a layout optimal for Founder NVIDIA cards that blow through the heatsink.

Great case for builds. Plenty of space in a small package. Not the smallest case out there, but small enough to be small form factor. Very easy to build with this case, you can take the entire thing apart. Plenty of airflow. Great bang for the buck, you cant go wrong with this case. This case is designed for SFX power supplies, but you can fit a bigger PSU in it, but I recommend just sticking with SFX power supplies.
