MasterBox NR200P
Brand new 2020 model, a 18L compact PC system chassis with great cost performance.

Versatility in its build is the product of a collaborative design process spanning over a year and the end result is a very impressive practical yet pocket friendly model.

With careful proper planning, many interesting permutations are actually possible with this new model as shown by the early adopters.

Unboxing
The sample piece is the NR200P white model. It comes in a brown cardboard box, possibly a greener recycling option. The NR200P model comes bundled with a PCI-e 3.0 x16 extension cable for vertical GPU placement at a reasonable extra cost of SGD30 over the non-P model.

This is a case I am very keen to do a YouTube build on

Damn that looks good. Always loved how Cooler Master decided to go the "clean look" from some time ago.

please do.


but then the price difference between the nr200 and nr200p quite big though, the difference is tempered glass side panel, pcie3 riser and extra 1 12cm fan instead of the 92mm fan right?

or are they different configurations.

 

[sacredrays]

i have seen some chinese yt videos where they did a lot of minor mods to squeeze in some smaller sized matx and atx psu.. not worth that effort though.

I need to sell off the current YouTube build to fund it but its definitely something I'm going to consider next,...

Personally, I feel Cooler Master nailed it with this NR200 series. It seems the build is decent, and most importantly, the price is reasonable as compared to other bespoke brands. I was quite keen to change my ATX case to the NR200P, but because of the prices of SFX PSU being quite high of late, I decided I will just wait and see.

Good case to feature cos this interesting case is really bang for the buck.

Just note that there are already many many Youtube videos around although this model was just released not too long ago.

Evokes tinges of Scandinavian/Ikea style?

Some are not so minor mods cos involves panel cutting but some mainlanders seem to like this case a lot.

Maybe look around the web cos some managed to fit short ATX PSUs inside too.

Accessory Box 1
The first acccesory box contains the third side panel which is of the smoked tempered glass variety. It is packed nice and secure with dense foam and arrived in pristine condition.

Note: 2 steel and a tempered glass side panels are bundled ie. total of 3 panels.

One of the best things of this case is that since it is from a mainstream brand, you don't have to deal with out of stock issues that other ITX cases usually have.

Main Chassis
Very clean lines with a subtle matte white paint job, somehow seems Scandinavian inspired with visions of Ikea furnishing.

So subdued is the branding that the only hints of its CM heritage are the hexagonal shape of the Power button and mere outline of the Cooler Master logo on the front bezel.

The chassis comes pre-installed with the 2 metal ventilated side panels, these are both inter-exchangeable with the bundled afore-mentioned tempered glass piece. The back PCI I/O plates are all fenestrated and re-installable.

Interior
The front panel is easily popped off by catching the bottom edge and pulling it out. The catch mechanism used is a Lian Li inspired plastic catch which has its own set of pros and cons.
