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)

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

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

This 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.

After finishing my first mini itx build in this case I decided to plan a second build in another one of these cases.

Its 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.

You can feel the heat on the case even when idle. I can only imagine what a 5L case would feel like.

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.

This case is so easy to work in for its size. I have the mesh panel with a noctua U12-A fitting just fine, I do not think it would fit with the glass panel. I like that it has dust filters all over, it is certainly catching a lot of dust in my city apartment. The case comes apart with a tool less design so easy to clean out when I need to do so. I have an aggressively quiet fan curve for my 3700x, so its pretty much silent during any desktop activity. Only in games do I hear it a bit (the case is right behind my monitor), the airflow is fantastic. I have the cpu heatsink with two fans (airflow to the rear, so functioning as exhaust), no dedicated exhaust at the back as it wont fit with such a larger cooler. Then two exhaust at the top (noctua nf-p12) tied to cpu temps instead of system temps. Other small cases I dont think it would be as silent. You can fit pretty a large graphics cards with no issues. I think Ill be using this case for many years to come unless something changes drastically in terms of motherboard formats. I came from the NZXT H200 and my temps improved a lot with all the extra airflow so my system runs more silently due to fan rpms being lower.

I was extremely lucky to stumble upon this case while looking for a Mini-ITX. Its made of durable, good quality metal thats 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). Its 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 cant beat the price either - its 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 youll 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 didnt). If you want a see-through side panel, youll have to opt for the PCI riser version. Overall Im extremely happy with this case, it made my first build in a Mini-ITX case very easy. My PC runs very cool and theres 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

I picked this case up on Amazon Prime day for $33 after a huge discount down to something around $77, and with a $50 amazon gift card. I have very little to say about this case, but all of it is positive 1.) I was expecting cable management to be much more difficult than it was. If you have zip ties, it should be a breeze, but time consuming 2.) Build quality is fantastic. the entire case is so solid that I feel like I could slam it against my desk only to break the desk before I dent the case. The front panel is also very very thick, moreso than any other part of the case. The entire thing with the exception of some trim seems to be made of aluminum. 3.) This thing will fit just about any hardware you could want in it. I recommend using a 2 slot graphics card if you want to fit intake fans at the bottom,as with a 3 slot card you need thin intake fans. and I also recommend not using more than 2 radiators for a custom loop system, and just using more fans. 4.) Cooling performance is fantastic. Temps are in the 40s for my 5600x using an NZXT 280mm AIO, and temps in the 70s for my 3 slot 980ti.
