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)

Build quality is seriously great, Ive use may ATX cases in the past and it doesnt compare, this ITX case is fantastic the AIO/pre-wiring and power supply saves so much time.

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

4 stars only because there is no way to screw in the side panels, and they like to fall off when the case is tilted sideways. The positives: Was able to fit an Asus Prime B250M-A mATX motherboard in here (10.24 x 2.03 x 10.63 inches). Had to forego the I/O shield as well as relocate the external power plug so that the motherboard could slide up to the top of the inside of the case. Was able to fit a full size tower cooler with not a single millimeter to spare. Also managed to squeeze in a full ATX power supply but there was nowhere to mount it. Literally everything other than the fans and CPU cooler are zip tied. No screws were harmed (or used) in the making of this PC. Overall this is a great little chassis. No annoying/ugly branding, very svelte and nice looking. Cozy inside. High quality construction overall.

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.

I have a x570-i gaming mobo with ryzen 5950x and RTX 4080 with radiator fans blowing up and out of case and two slim 120mm fans blowing down and out under the gpu in my enclosure and have had zero issues with cooling or fan noise. Im running with the side mesh panel. The built in PSU can handle the cpu and gpu just fine and came with enough pci express connectors for the 4080 without having to mod or change anything (4080 takes three) Cpu maxed out usually sticks in the low 70s C and gpu usually around high 60s at max (though Ive not a professional benchmark guy so take that with a grain of salt) This case is tiny, yet still spacious for an itx build and very cool and silent

I love this case. Its well built, relatively easy to assemble, and looks great. Im 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 doesnt 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.

AIO pump is nonfunctional out of the box. Radiator fans worked so I swapped it with cpu fan/wp header and fans worked but pump still didnt on known good header. Tried pwm/dc/auto in bios with no difference. Called for a replacement and its on the way, will update once the new one is here and through its paces. Seems like this is a known thing from some reddit threads. I love this case but an aio needs to do one job and cool the cpu, not be a passive radiator..bad one at that. Update: New one arrived and worked as expected. I upped the rating to reflect this.

Can fully break it down with only a screwdriver, very accessible. Well thought out design, plenty of fan mounting points. Great venting for air flow with metal mesh filters to keep out animal hair, etc.

All panels come off which makes it easy to access everything.

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.
