Cooler Master NR200P SFF Small Form Factor Mini-ITX Case, Tempered Glass or Vented Panel, Vertical Mounting GPU, PCI Riser Cable, Triple-Slot GPU, Tool-Free (MCB-NR200P-KGNN-S00)

This is one of my all-time favorite cases. It’s simple, yet allows you to use either air cooling or an AIO, has plenty of fan mounts, supports longer SFX power supplies, and has room for a fairly large GPU. I hate having to pay the ATX tax on many of the components, but the end result is a computer that takes up significantly less space, which is appreciated since I love to build these things and have too many at this point. I think the newer version is a downgrade in terms of flexibility and cost, so it’s sad that these are generally no longer available.

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 i7-12700KASUS ROG Strix B660-I (mini-ITX)Nvidia RTX 3070FE GPUKingston 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 SSDSK Hynix Platinum P41 1 TB m.2 SSDThermalright Silver Soul 135 white coolerArctic P9 PWM PST 92mm fanArctic BioniX F120 fans x 2Chassis 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 it's 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, and [update alert] a year later, they're still working flawlessly. I did add a magnetic filter on the back to block off the openings back there since I'm intaking air thru all those openings at the back. Technically, it's not held there by magnets. The tab from the case top holds it in place perfectly. My computer sits right next to an air filter which sits 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, I'm 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.I put together a second NR200P system to surprise my dad. He didn't need a dedicated GPU, or rgb RAM, but otherwise the builds were pretty similar, and it went equally well. LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors, too! I would've gone with pink if it hadn't been $50 more at the time of my build. Still kinda wish I had, because pink is my color. But the white looks really nice too.Two great experiences with this case! Highly recommended.

Love this case. It's big for an SFF case but it's super easy to build in. Well laid out and plenty of options for mounting the PSU.If you can build your own custom cables or order custom length cables you can end up with a super clean build. I did custom sleeveless cables that are pictured here and you can see the difference it makes.The glass panel is the chefs kiss. Slightly tinted, and RGB looks fine shining through it.If you use a triple slot GPU don't expect to get 25mm fans on the bottom. Plan to use 15's if any at all. The top fits 25mm fans just fine but if you go AIO plan ahead for clearances.Overall excellent case with a lot of room to allow builds of all kinds.

To start off, if you are between the NR200 and the NR200P do yourself a favor and get the NR200P. The glass panel is of incredible quality, and the double 120mm fans are worth the little bit extra. This case is amazingly flexible, and nearly every piece of it can be disassembled or moved out of the way to aid in building the SFF rig you've dreamed about. Despite being SFF it can house virtually any GPU on the market today. It can mount radiators, extra fans, multiple SSDs, you name it.So what is wrong with it? Well, that would be Cooler Master's absolutely complete lack of customer support. The NR200/NR200P include small plastic clips that retain the push-pins found on the side panels. These plastic clips are apparently very notorious for breaking easily. I broke one and emailed Cooler Master customer service for a replacement, and was directed to create an account at their "Fanzone" website in order to receive actual support. Well, their Fanzone website system flat out DOESN'T WORK. Once you've created an account and try to log in, all you'll receive is an error that states: " 很抱歉, 目前Facebook驗證失敗, 請檢查您的Facebook帳號, 並再重新登入.Sorry, Facebook verification failed . Please check your email linked to your Facebook account, and try to login again." I DO NOT HAVE A FACEBOOK, nor did I link a Facebook account when I created my login for Fanzone. So buyer beware. Once you've purchased this item YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN if anything happens to it.Update 03/19/2024 - After some back and forth, I was able to get a replacement clip mailed to me free of cost by Cooler Master. Though it took some effort, Cooler Master stood by their product and replaced the broken part.
