Title: Fantastic, not flawless…
Review: 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.

Title: Great case, tiny footprint
Review: Really liked the process of building in this case as well as the end product. I’ve built in an NR200, a custom case I designed and fabricated, and this, and this case was probably the easiest and has, by far, the smallest desk footprint. Very happy with the results.I will say that I’ve got a 9900x in here and it’s pretty close to pushing the limits of the AIO (can get up to 92° when running synthetic benchmarks, which is technically below the max operating temp of 95° but too close for comfort). I will try to undervolt/limit it eventually to bring temps down but I’d probably just choose something a little less power-hungry like a 9600x or 9800x3d in a future build.I wish the PCIE riser was 5.0 but I’ll live. 4.0 is still very fast

Title: Not the tiniest sff case but maybe the easiest to build in.
Review: 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.

Review: …das Netzeil. Es ist leider sehr Laut bei Grafikintensiven Anwendungen. Selbst wenn keine Last mehr anliegt, ist der Netzteillüfter der einzige den man hören kann (und das sehr laut!).Das restliche Gehäuse ist ansonsten sehr gut.Und es ist etwas größer als erwartet.

Review: I got this case recommended by my friend and I received the courier within 2 days after the order. The product was genuine and there were no damages. It was easy for a newbie like me to get this assembled and all the components are well build. Liked the way it looks and the grey color for the max version looks pretty good to me.

Review: En un mercado tan minoritario y poco explorado como lo es el de las computadoras de alta gama en bajos volúmenes de espacio, es muy agradable encontrar sorpresas de este tamaño.Si bien el gabinete NR200 y el NR200 MAX no fueron nuevos en el mercado, la version NR200P MAX viene a corregir algunas cosas algo molestas de la versión anterior a cambio de cerrar las opciones de montura de la GPU y de colocación de enfriamiento de CPU.Empecemos hablando de su lógica y bien planteada idea de flujo de aire, aquí nos dan preinstalado un enfriador líquido de alta gama con 2 ventiladores enormes que sirven de salida de aire caliente. Mucha gente tiende a decir que esto es un error. Pero pueden ver qué en realidad las cosas de mantienen a una temperatura muy buena en general.Todo viene preinstalado y colocado de forma lógica y tranquila para la construcción. Prueba de ello es que la fuente de 850 watts tiene cables completamente personalizados, con una longitud medida a milímetros para quedar perfecto en el 99% de placas base Mini ITX del mercado.Su sistema de montura de discos 2.5 es sin herramientas y perfectamente seguro, sumado a ello, los cortes de la parte posterior del gabinete son todos brillantes y muy bien colocados. He podido reinstalar un SSD sin dolor, sin desarmar nada, solo sacando la tapa posterior del gabinete, sin ningún problema.Hablando de las tapas, nos incluyen una hermosa de cristal templado y todas, absolutamente todas, se pueden quitar sin necesidad de hacer uso de ninguna clase de herramienta. Las tapas con agujeros de respiración son ambas idénticas, quitando problemas de confusión y te brindan además guías puestas incluso en el mismo gabinete para saber qué movimientos debes realizar para su instalación y su remoción.La bomba de agua es sorpresivamente más silenciosa de lo que yo creía y bajo carga muy estresante mi GPU bajo en promedio 15 grados de temperatura de lo que tenía previamente, en mi gabinete RVZ02.Por esta razón, le doy 5 estrellas, porque veo a mucha gente seleccionando este gabinete para quedarse con el durante varias actualizaciones de GPU y CPU (En especial para AMD, ya que es compatible con AM5).Recomendaciones;1.- Recomiendo verificar la compatibilidad de la GPU con el gabinete previo a la compra. No me mal entiendan, se puede incrustar el 98% de las cosas porque sacrificando un poco la altura del gabinete y la posibilidad de colocar el GPU “acostado”, este gabinete nos permite montar cualquier GPU con PCI 4.0 en el. El problema es que algunos ensambladores de gráficas están llegando al absurdo de poner tarjetas que requieren hasta 4,5 slots, lo cual además de innecesario y ridículo, evitaría que ustedes puedan colocar este gabinete en su setup.2.- Verifiquen la compatibilidad con Intel.En serio… Gracias Intel, no sabes cómo amamos que cada nueva generación cambies a propósito el socket de enfriamiento para las CPU.El gabinete viene con 4 sockets diferentes para Intel, y soy el primero en saber que no es suficiente. Verifiquenlo.(GRACIAS AMD por hacer el socket AM5 compatible con todo AM4)Puntos a mejorar;1.- Precio.No me mal entiendan, es un paquete 5 estrellas porque las piezas están 100% personalizadas para esta implementación. PERO, en ofertas puedes comprar sin problemas; 1.- NR200P, 2.- Fuente SFX de 850 watts, 3.- Enfriador de alta gama de 2 ventiladores en el radiador… Y todo eso te puede salir entre 50 a 100 dólares más barato de lo que tenemos aquí.Si, vas a tener que lidiar con algunas cosas molestas de la versión anterior del gabinete, como la altura extra o cosas como que la colocación de la fuente es muy cercana a la motherboard y por tanto tendrás que pelear mucho con los cables de longitud estándar. Así que… Cae en ustedes si el tener más comodidad justifica el precio extra.2.- Color.Alguien más sabio que yo dijo una vez; “Puedes pedir el color que quieras, mientras sea negro.”Y aquí no existe esa opción (detalle muy menor)Veredicto final.Este es el paraíso de construcción Mini-ITX. De calle.¿Es tu primera construcción de PC en tu vida o es tu primer PC Mini-ITX? Felicidades, no busques más.Este gabinete tiene absolutamente todos los argumentos para convertirse en el favorito de absolutamente todos los constructores de este tamaño entusiasta.Si bien, se le pueden señalar cosas como que es algo grande con sus 11 litros en volumen, Cooler Máster sabe aprovechar cada centímetro cúbico disponible para permitirnos tener seguridad en nuestra construcción y en nuestras temperaturas.Tiene 5 estrellas por ser un producto excesivamente completo, a pesar de su precio que puede ser considerado premium.

Review: ive used this case for about 2 months now and it has been solid as! keeping my 7800x3d cool at ultra settings while playing cyberpunk, never went past 75-80 degreesUsers are speaking about the pump making a noise or “failing” it is a twist tie that holds the aio fans that makes this noise. make sure to check on the right side as thats where the tie came loose..

Review: The price may be deceptive but it is comparable when you look at what you’re actually getting. The 850W power supply that it comes with is $220 alone and it does come with a custom 120MM AIO cooler that has a little less performance than a 240MM cooler. The reason that it loses stars is because the case fans that it comes with are not the best and mine were rattling already after a week of use.
