Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P Mini ITX Computer Case - Tempered Glass Side Panel, Superior Cooling Options, Vertical GPU display, Tool-Free 360 Degree Accessibility - White

Product Information

Now, as a full-time PCMag analyst, I'm focusing on reviewing processors and graphics cards while dabbling in all other things PC-related. We couldn't find an exact match for the CPU cooler built into the NR200P Max, so we opted to use Cooler Master's MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror as a stand-in.

The Cooler Master logo can be seen on the top right and near the left side overlapping the image of the case. Cooler Master has three main mini-ITX cases in their MasterBox lineup, including the NR200, NR200P, and NR200P MAX.With this data, we can compare how the system handles the thermal demand and measure peak noise levels. If you do it the other way around, the graphics card obstructs access to the card slot when installed and will make connecting the riser to the motherboard more difficult.

Vented side panels for optimal airflow allow for vertical GPU mounting without the worry of overheating the graphics card.If you're on a tight budget, however, or liquid cooling isn't essential for your build, another compact case will let you opt for more affordable components to fill out the bill of lading. The NR200P comes with a choice of side panels: vented steel for unrestricted airflow, or crystal-clear tempered glass to reveal the beauty of a computing beast. It’s not an entirely no-screws process, as you’ll need to screw these small peg-like screws into the fans. Following numerous iterations, the launch design was chosen, but we thought “why not share the iterations with our users? At idle the system is whisper-quiet, we didn’t measure idle noise levels as it was below our noise floor range so impossible to measure.

Built for easy customisation, the NR200P can be dismantled all the way down to its modular elements. Anyone who owns or has used the Cooler Master NR200P mini-ITX case will think it is near impossible to be improved upon.Modular chassis design with complete panel removal provides the user with almost unrestricted access to hardware components, for improved cable routing. It can’t hold a full-size ATX power supply, but both SFX and SFX-L compact models will fit snugly inside.
