MasterBox NR200 mini case, from Cooler Master
Small Size, Big Features
This 18-liter case packs all of the features found in a core performance ATX chassis in a space less than half the volume. Take full advantage of your high-end processor and triple-slot graphics card thanks to open ventilation, multiple fan mounts, and generous clearance for water cooling. Easy-to-remove panels allow 360-degree access to the internals of your system for easy build and maintenance.
- Unrestricted Cooling Potential
- Triple-slot GPU support
- Easy, Tool-free access
- 360 Degree Accessibility
- Multiple motherboard support options
- Out-of-the-box Custom Cooling Support
- High quality materials

Unrestricted Cooling Potential
The NR200 can house up to 7 fans in total for every cooling configuration imaginable. Five panels are flanked with ventilation for unrestricted airflow. One 92mm and one 120mm Sickleflow fan are included. The compact structure can efficiently house CPU coolers up to 155mm in height and radiators up to 280mm in length, so even the hottest running hardware can’t be held back.

Triple-slot GPU support
Triple slot GPUs are supported with a maximum length of 330mm and maximum width of 156mm allowing the fitment of high-end graphics cards. The rear ventilation contains PCI slots to allow for vertical GPU mounting to better showcase the graphics card (PCI riser cable sold separately)

Easy, Tool-free access
All external panels and top mounted fans are secured with pins for easy removal, facilitating quick access to the internals without the use of tools.

360 Degree Accessibility
Every panel and frame part of the NR200 frame can be dismantled. Screws are used to secure the frame parts to allow advanced disassembly and multiple angles to easily work inside of the chassis.

High quality materials
Thick, powder coated SGCC steel keeps the fit and finish of the chassis clean and durable even with harsh traveling conditions.

Out-of-the-box Custom Cooling Support
Two liquid cooling pump locations alongside side and bottom radiator mounting locations allow for powerful custom water-cooled builds inside a compact enclosure.

Pros: -Toolless design for 5 panels is a live saver when compared to other cases. -Only 2 screws to access the side bracket, and 2 more for the power supply cage. -Aesthetically this thing is amazing. Simple and sleek design, nothing much to be upset about visually. -Not aluminum, I hate building in aluminum cases so it's a huge plus that this thing is rock solid. -Massive amounts of ventilation, back in the 2000's this would have been part of their HAF (High-Air-Flow) series I'm sure. -Temps are great, idles at 28-32c on the CPU with a NZXT X52 on a 9900k and full load is around 56-58c. The GPU stays around 34-36c idle and 55-57c full load on a RTX 3080 Founders Edition in standard configuration (Not vertical). 2 included top fans as exhaust, NZXT radiator on the side bracket with 2 fans as intake, and 2 fans under the GPU as intake on the bottom. Manual fan curves were used, no overclocking.
Cons: -No carrying handle. -No USB Type-C port on the front. -Didn't include 92mm fan for the back side like the standard NR200, and like most reviewer copies YouTuber's received did. -Newegg used UPS for shipping and I ordered on Monday, and didn't get it until the following Monday. UPS said they attempted delivery on Thursday and lied, I have a doorbell camera and they never came. Had to wait until the following Monday for them to deliver it to an "Access Point" and go pick it up myself. -Can't confirm yet, but it would seem like taking the top panel off will shake loose all the dust that's accumulated and it's going to go everywhere. Unlike the other panels that come off without much guff, the top panel requires enough force to knock loose all the dust in the filter. -Cable management was a pain, plan it out more than once, test fit parts, pretty standard stuff for an SFF case. Just took awhile to figure out what would work for my particular parts. Being this is a relatively new case, there wasn't much material on the internet to reference to ensure my parts would fit, but they all did.
Overall Review: CPU: 9900k @ Stock CPU Cooler: NXZT Kraken X52 (Side mounted) GPU: RTX 3080 Founders Edition @ Stock PSU: Corsair 600W SFX Gold 80+ MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 CL16 NVMe: 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB SSD: 3x Samsung 850 EVO 1TB The PSU works fine at stock speeds for CPU/GPU, but I'd like to overclock. The 600W was pulled out of another rig to get this one up and running and will be replaced ASAP with 750W or 850W depending on availability due to The Rona.
