Cooler Master MasterBox NR200 Mini ITX Computer Case - Compact SGCC Steel Chassis, Tool-Free 360 Degree Accessibility - NR200 Black

No idea how Cooler Master has managed to offer this case at it's current price point and maintained the level of quality both in design and materials, but this is simply the best case I've ever built an SFF computer in. My previous system was housed in an Ncase M1, so this is slightly on the larger side when compared to that, however the thermal performance the extra volume provides and increase in component compatibility is definitely worth it.The NR200 is super easy to build in as you can remove all the sides, which makes fitting your components in, and cable management a breeze. I'd also say about 90% of the case uses one type of screw, which is one less thing you have to worry about. lastly as I've mentioned the quality of the alloy steel material used and finish is superb.To wrap this up, if you are in the market for an SFF case I highly, highly recommend the NR200. Traditionally good SFF cases are usually produced in really small batches, so are generally difficult to purchase and / or very expensive. As I wrote in the headline of this review, for under £70 this is as good as it gets!

The new nr200 is quite plain looking... Subtle and unassuming, I would describe it as. I realise that look isn't for everyone; some people will want the nr200p with a glass side panel so they can see the shiny components inside, and other's might want the nr200 max which makes mounting an AiO at the top a doddle. However the glass side significantly reduces thermal performance, and with a little cleverness you can still get a top mount rad in the nr200 at a fraction of the price.Personally, I went through the RGB phase when I was building my first PC, three decades ago, and I'm now interested in quiet effective cooling.At under 70 quid for a nice, all-metal chassis, excellent build quality, and excellent cooling, this is an absolute bargain. If you are happy to build an air cooled system, it's very easy to build in, with a few caveats over part choices, but exceptional thermal performance nevertheless. I chose to go all out and have wrangled an xspc 240 rad with noctua extra slim fans in the top, alphacool 280mm x 30mm rad in the bottom, and a 3080 tuf gaming oc gfx card with dual (front and rear) EK water blocks vertically mounted in the case. The CPU water block/pump is hacked from my old Arctic Freeze II 360mm AIO (I stripped and cleaned it and hose clipped it into a custom water loop). With all this in the case, there isn't room for a reservoir, so I have a quick release coupling just before the CPU block/pump where I added a reservoir (with a matching quick release coupling) to fill and bleed the loop, then removed it, effectively giving me a full sealed loop like in an AIO.Was my choice of build easy?... Err, no! ... It literally took over 50 hours to build (I'm an experienced builder and I'm normally looking at 2 to 4 hours for a tidy, cable managed system with OS installed), however it is my most satisfying build ever... I have undervolted and even slightly overclocked both the CPU and GPU, giving me 52C on the CPU max load on its own after 30 minutes, 62C on GPU max load on it's own after 30 minutes, and about 60 under a gaming mixed load after hours on end 😂... Absolutely silent when at idle, browsing the net, watching YouTube/steaming. Very nearly silent when gaming.Going back to the start, it's quiet and unassuming, but is an absolutely brilliant case... Straight out of the box it works great with superb thermals for its tiny size. It's super easy to build in if you don't want to do anything extreme, but also has the scope to achieve the impossible with a little black magic and a crowbar to squeeze amazingly high end hardware in it.Cooler Master NR200AS Rock z690m ac mini itxI7v12700k @4.9 GHz all core OC, 130mv undervolt32GB team force Xtreme 3600 cas 16 ram, dual channel, dual rank3080 10GB Asus TUF gaming oc, undervolt to 0.875V , real 100Mhz oc die, 150Mhz oc ramCooler Master 850W sff power supply1TB Seagate Barracuda pcie4 m2 ssd2TB adata pcie3 m2 ssd

This ITX case is great especially if it’s your first SFF PC build. All of the panels come off so it’s easy to build inside and there’s only one screw you need to take off all the other panels just snap on and off.The temperature performance is also great I have only three case fans installed and I’m seeing 65 to 70 degree Celsius on my 3060 ti under load.Overall cannot recommend this ITX case enough the size is amazing it’s a great fit and so easy to build in there is little noise from the case fans and the performance is great at a cheap price too

Well constructed SFF case with some clever mechanisms for the outer panels.Handily took my GTX4070 with some slim 120mm fans underneath, a side mounted 240mm AIO, and 2 more 120mm fans on top. I even hid a fan controller behind the face plate.

Great little case to build on, fitting a massive air cooler with ease. Not the smallest case, but small enough to be carried in a car. With a large air cooler, it still fits 4 120mm fans - but the one above the air cooler must be thin enough -- and I still have to figure out how to adapt the included fittings. The back exhaust fan is smaller.Manufacturing has some flaws: the front panel is slightly misaligned - the gap is larger by about 2-3 mm on one of the sides; and some of the screws were so poorly tightened the paint had been scraped off before leaving the factory.

This case is so easy to build in, so efficient with its use of space, and it doesn’t seem to compromise on anything.Generally, a really practical case that will make you question whether you would ever need a bigger case (for a lot of configurations, even high-end).I have a mid case build as my main pc (Corsair 4000d) and the difference in size is significant!My NR200 build was intended for the living room and it just perfectly blends in. If you don’t have a lot of space or you’d prefer something more discrete, this is perfect!I’m now thinking that I may go ITX from here on out.

Probably the absolute best case at this price point if you are looking to tightly pack a great system without many downsides.I have managed to fit an itx motherboard in it, with an AIO for the GPU and CPU (280 and 240 mm radiators respectively), a SFX-L PSU and 2 Sata SSDs alongside the NVMes, this did require a very slight alteration to the case (240 mm radiator is on top and the 280 mm radioator on the side) which is really easily done.All in all the best itx case I have seen if you don't want to spend tonnes on it.

It might not be the absolute smallest, but it's incredibly easy to build in, and looks and feels great.I really don't see how anyone could go wrong buying this.
