Cooler Master N200 Micro-ATX Mini Tower with Front Mesh Ventilation, Minimal Design, 240mm Close-Loop AIO Support

Pros: This is one of those cases you will find yourself tinkering with until you've found your sweet spot for satisfaction. I placed three different builds into this case since I purchased it, and the last build will be the one I keep configured. I found myself dismantling the entire case and every included component to the bare frame. I've tinkered with the cable management, IO panel, hardware mounts, insulation, cages, and etcetera, multiple times. I figured out what works best with this chassis. I've never had an mATX/ITX designated case consist of so many options to choose from, especially for the low price point. Its construction should not fool anyone. The pictures posted online do not serve it justice. It's lightweight, and NOT flimsy compared to other cases of similarity. The airflow potential in this case is remarkable. 3 pre-mounted case fans are included with the purchase, and can easily be removed and/or upgraded accordingly. Thank you Cooler Master. This case is dead silent if you use a water cooling solution without case fans and moving components. All of the set screws and grommets are included as well.

Cons: Cable management and disassembly are the largest concerns for this case. Once you've disassembled the entire chassis, reassembly and build configuration become easier. The reason cable management is a concern is if you A) do not use a modular power supply, and B) install more components than needed to run a simple desktop PC. Tucking the cables behind the motherboard tray can be tedious. I suggest you invest in using the zip-ties and finding notches to strap the cables to. Stacking cables may not allow the panel doors to close properly. They are prone to bending and bulging. Please be careful.

Overall Review: For clarification purposes, the chassis supports the following drive configurations. 1x 5.25in Drive mounted in the optical bay. (External) 1x 3.5in Drive mounted under the optical bay. (External) 2x 3.5in Drives mounted on the bottom of the chassis (Internal) This cage can also shift positions in the chassis. 2x 2.5in Drives (One under the modular bay, One above the 3.5in cage) (Internal) 2x 2.5in Drives (Mounted on the motherboard tray, using the included rubber grommets) (Internal) Users can swap out the 2x 3.5in drives for 4x 2.5in drives by using adaptors to mount in the cages. For users looking to invest in water cooling solutions for this case, I strongly advise you stick to single radiator solutions rather than the maximum permitted 240mm solutions available on the market. I attempted to front-mount install the h100 from Corsair and realized that the tubing restricted both the cable management options available with this case and the internal component mounts. For anyone that's curious, this is the build I installed in the N200.

Pros: Solid build Nice looking case design and all solid black Very functional for it's size Side panels and front bezel remove easily Front bezel removes without the cables attached! Not heavy Bottom full size ATX PSU mounting USB 2.0 and 3.0 on front Solid feeling power button Front and rear fans Good air flow design with dust filters

Cons: No screw less mounting of drives, too many screws to remove for drive cages. A minor complaint. Once you install all your components, then the cable management challenge begins! This is the only REAL con to this case, in that it is small, so cables get in the way of each other as you are trying to install and plug in everything. Even with a totally full modular PSU like I have. But I knew this when I bought it, so I cannot take an egg off. Especially since I downsized from a big Mid size case! It's just something to be aware of when considering this case.

Overall Review: What impresses me the most about this case, is how it was designed! I mean you can fit big video cards, tall CPU coolers, 2 SSD and 2 HDD's inside with 1 Optical drive. The bottom mounting of the PSU is nice with the dust filter right under it on the case bottom. For the price, and if you are thinking of going with a smaller and lighter case, this is the one.

Pros: + Lots of room for a small case. Bottom mounting power supply. Rolled metal edges, no sharp corners. Soft powder coat paint job. tool-less component mounts (HD, OD, PCI slot) CPU cooler pass through on motherboard tray. Excellent airflow. Plenty of room for cable management channeling on the backside of the tray. Design aesthetics: No obnoxious color patterns, just a nice black case. Black interior. Price

Cons: - Top vent, this is a personal preference, I dont like debris or dust having a natural path directly into the motherboard / components. Top venting is something ideally used for overclocking builds, where you need to dissipate heat quickly, or have a lot of hard drives filling the cages. Its not typically needed at all for builds utilizing stock speeds. I found one corner in the cable channeling area behind the harddrive cage that was sharp

Overall Review: I chose case for a client build, and was really impressed with the build quality and overall look of the case. I would recommend this case to anyone looking at a mATX build, as its just the right size, and not too cramped. The case was purchased from Newegg, and my client received it in 2 days from ordering.

Pros: This was a nice purchase, this case has enough room for a nice micro atx setup gaming rig, cable management was good. 2 fans pre-installed gives nice cooling. Enough room to mount after market cpu coolers, and larger graphics cards.

Cons: None, it held everything I needed it too.

Overall Review: This makes a nice small footprint gaming rig case if you don't want to take up a lot of space.

Pros: Just got the case in and I have to say it's very nice. I love the mesh look that the front has. I didn't run into any problems with installing any of my current components. The case is a decent size ( height wise ) if you're looking for a new budget friendly case, I'd go with this one.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Simple good looks and lots of ventilation.

Cons: Some Asus motherboards have SATA connectors at the edge that point out to the side, not up. This case has a recessed area for the motherboard that makes it impossible to use some of the connectors. That might be serious but those I have seen still have six useable SATA connectors.

Pros: Solid case Spacious for my needs

Cons: Front panel paint started chipping after a few months Front panel Usb 3.0 failed within 2 months after purchase

Overall Review: I would recommend to those needing a cheap case. However I would recommend to the manufacturer that the paint and front I/O was should be made a little sturdier.

Pros: The construction is very good, this isn't one of those flimsy-feeling cases. Even the side panels have surprising stiffness. The motherboard tray is ported out so you can access both sides of your CPU/heatsink area with the side panels removed. I liked the layout for several reasons. The PSU isn't breathing hot exhaust from the CPU (it draws fresh air through a filtered vent in the floor), and having the motherboard in the upper section of the case means that, for once, you can actually see what you're doing when working with the front-panel connections. Your SATA connectors also aren't trapped in a cramped space between your video card and the floor of the case. In the front, I moved the intake fan down so it's blowing at the HDD rack. You can run dual 120s up front if you want. The stock fans are pretty quiet; I can easily hear a stock Intel CPU fan over the dual 120s. I may be behind the times, but this is the first case I've had that comes with SSD racks. Nice touch. Bezel looks classy.

Cons: The HDD rack maxes out at two HDDs, and it's held in place with six screws, four of which you must unscrew from the underside of the case. Another nitpick: the front panel has only one USB 3.0 connector; two would've been nice, since the motherboard's socket provides a pinout for two USB 3.0 ports.

Overall Review: This build was a surveillance server emphasizing performance-per-watt (which means longer runtimes on battery power during an outage). Seasonic G360 PSU, H77 board, Core i3-3225, DVD burner, an SSD and a 3TB drive. Under load, it's pulling only about 45 watts and 25% CPU use, down from about 110W and 70% CPU on a Phenom II X4 with three HDDs.
