Cooler Master NR200P MAX Mini-ITX Case with 280mm AIO, 850W SFX PSU, Vertical GPU Mount, PCIe Gen4 Riser, Glass or Vented Panel

NCORE 100 MAX, dark grayThe case is great. It has a very small footprint, looks nice, fits a high end graphics card and motherboard, and is reasonably portable. It seems expensive at first glance, but isn't if you value the inclusion of a power supply and CPU liquid cooler. I’m giving this 5 stars, but it does have room for improvement in the areas below. Please keep in mind that I’m not enumerating the many positives as the 5 stars are indication that overall, this is a great case (and PSU and liquid CPU cooler).First, the cables that attach the “custom PCIe 4.0 riser” to the motherboard has to be twisted 180 degrees to plug into the PCIe slot on the motherboard. This places a lot of strain on the cables + connector and wastes space between the motherboard and the 2.5” drive mount. It really doesn’t feel very custom.Next, the supplied SATA cables are right angle on one end, but there’s no room for the 90 degree bend on most (if not all) mini ITX motherboards and the 90 degree bend is backward for what is needed to work with the 2.5” drive mount location. Because of the issue mentioned above with the twist in the PCIe riser cable, I ended up just wedging the 2.5” drive upside down between the case and the PCIe riser cables rather than screwing it into the proper location. I probably should have used a different SATA cable, but the PCIe cables seem to hold the drive in place without putting too much strain on the cable.Another cabling issue is that the 12V connector for the GPU has a right angle connector on the GPU card end, but there’s really not sufficient room for the right angle connector to connect to a right angle power connector on the GPU circuit board. However, if a straight cable had been supplied, there would be enough room for the cable to connect to both a right angle or vertical connector on a GPU circuit board. I did end up using the 12V connector, but there’s a lot of strain on that cable and more than I’d like on the graphics card.The next two areas of improvement are related to portability. I acknowledge I was aware this case wasn’t really designed for portability, but it is something I think should be integral to the design of a mini-ITX case. It would have been really nice if the manufacturer had included a handle on the back of the case. I think I can probably 3d print a replacement top for the case with a handle and still preserve the exhaust airflow, but it will need to attach a little differently than the supplied press-fit top.Again, wanting this to be portable and with the graphics connectors being on the bottom of the case, I’ll likely use short HDMI / Display Port extension cables to simplify disconnecting monitors. It would have been great if the manufacturer had added some form of cable retention for the display cables, but they didn’t. I can probably figure out something with zip ties.Finally, keep in mind that the finish can scratch. Pulling off the side panels is pretty simple, but it’s also easy to scratch the case if you’re wearing rings. It’s best to take off any rings before removing or attaching the side panels.In summary, this is a great case and the issues I list above are minor annoyances overall.

The TLDR is that this case is great. I bought another to build a new work computer, and both cases are keeping cool. I did replace the fans with Scythe 140mm fans on the radiator and 120mm slim fans for the bottom on both my home and work builds since both are similar enough.It's been a while since I built a computer and kind of set it and forgot about it. I've dusted out the home machine once since I got that one. Otherwise my only gripe was the paint on the original case but again, that literally buffed out. The second case didn't even have much in the way of spots on the paint or anything.----------------------------------------------------------------------Original review below:I had an original nr200 that I moved an old itx build into about a year ago and loved it. I honestly wish I had kept it instead of selling and keeping my atx build. But I probably wouldn't have gone with this then. So, it's a win. After waiting 7+ months for this case, between seeing it in reviews and not knowing where to get it until it hit Amazon/Newegg, I'd say it was worth the wait.This comes with two minor caveats, for me at least, that I can't imagine many people have run into.I got my *first* delivery and was missing the riser cable and one of the pcie power cables. The box looked unopened so I'll say it was a packing issue from the factory. I did try to just go through the order page to exchange it but was only given the option to return. I'd imagine this is due to the cost of the item as a whole. A call with an Amazon rep got this turned into an exchange.The second little gripe I have is with the paint. On the first and second item, the paint looked a little weird. Not really scuffs but I had to take a little polish to the panels to clean them up. Not a big deal, but if someone is paying close to or over 450 for this great package, and technically for a specific color, I would think the qc on the paint would be a better.I popped an x570i Strix board with my 5900x and Strix 3080. Everything fit like a glove. The cooler does have a little whine in the pump but I keep the machine of to the side and have a fan on most of the time so it's not audible. I did change the top fans out though for the Silverstone Penatrator ARGB fans to get a little more flair but the stock fans were more than capable of get the hot air through the radiator. I matched these up with their 120mm Slimmer fans.If you don't already have a computer built or want to downsize from an ATX build like my situation, this is the way to go. Be weary that the psu comes with 2x PCIE power cables that have 2 plugs daisy chained each. I don't really see this as a problem but I know there are disadvantages to this according to the internet pc building gods. I had a custom cable made anyway to add a third and there are plenty of people on etsy that can provide such a product or a full set of cables if needed. I paired this with a set of those 90 degree adapters too so it looks extra clean.I think if Coolermaster sold this version of the case, without the psu, cooler, riser, etc, for the same price as the normal nr200, I think they'd still sell a ton. Great case overall, probably never going mid/full size build again because of it.

Fits an MSI 5080 Gaming Trio just fine, the 850w psu is enough for most builds with plenty of headroom even with power hungry intel cpus.
