Nice, I would have left mine in the front if it wasn't for my short SAS cables.

I didnt realise the v2 was made for the AiO.

I'm on the fence whether to get a fractal terra but that silly "I'm sophisticated, look at me" wooden panel on the front puts me right off.

It's not exclusively AIO but the vertical mounted GPU really limits your CPU cooler options. They've also shifted a lot of the case internals downwards to accommodate a radiator at the top.

I really like the Terra and don't even mind the wood panel but I'd be weary of a CPU cooler fan being so close to the side of the case - in terms of noise / turbulence, mainly.

I'm a watercooling guy so my worries for the cases a bit different. I have a 1080mm external rad I use so I can have a tiny case.

Still frustratingly waiting on stock, ordered a V2 in black yesterday as the delivery date was sooner than the Max I've got on order :mad:

Any one have any success installing 2x 3.5 drives in this case? I have some storage to put on the network and this is the only PC i have with spare SATA connections. It would only be temporary whilst i get the data of the drives. Would it be safe to have them loose on the floor of the case for a few hours?

It can be done but if it's only temporary then the drives on the floor of the case would be fine. Although I would keep them separated by a bit of hard foam or thick cardboard just for a bit of airflow and to stop them vibrating against each other.

I've got 3x 3.5" HDD's, 2x 2.5" SSD's and 2xNVME drives in mine...
Check the pictures linked above.

Finally, black V2 in stock and being delivered tomorrow

I was intrigued so i looked

three HDD's is impressive, no GPU to achieve it, but very interesting build.

Yeah no GPU helps, got an interface card in there at the mo and 6x 3.5" drives, then the 2x NVME and 2x 2.5's, its looking a bit worse for wear as I'm currently swapping out drives that are old for newer slightly larger models...

Where can I still buy v1?

There does seem to be a shortage of stock at the moment but one of the CoolerMaster reps on Reddit, confirmed that the V1 will still be sold and isn't being discontinued. May be a shortage currently because a lot of people thought the V1 was end of life and maybe bought up the available stock?

Oh, that is great news! I'll be hunting for one then.
Or try to get that Jonsbo Z20, but that one is not yet possible to buy in UK, only via Aliexpress...

The Z20 is a nice alternative although I wish it had a solid side panel instead of a glass one.

If you contact Jonsbo they are usually pretty good and prompt at giving you an estimation for stock arrival into the UK. I had contacted them about the larger D31 before it came into proper UK availability and the estimate was pretty accurate.

I picked up a PC yesterday in a nr200p, it's got a 240 AIO side mounted, RTX 3080 in normal position. (I am changing this for a 7900 GRE though)

What is the *best* cooling setup/orientation for an NR200p with an AIO? it's a 240mm arctic cooler. I've seen people mod to top mount a 240 AIO.

I think it's currently setup as AIO as intake with side mount, then 2 fans on the top to exhaust, GPU in horizontal position.

I dont own a PC anymore, but I had the NR200P with the artic 240 in side mount, and had a 3090 under it, and to be honest, that cooling solution along with fans top and bottom worked well, its a very capable case for airflow, think i had it air in on bottom and cooler and out on top

Edited: actually just remembered sorry, its was a 280mm artic cooler not 240mm sorry

N0ddie · 19 Jun 2024 at 13:25

I had a 280mm AIO in side mount and the 3090 in the standard orientation. I also fitted 2 slimline 120mm funs on the bottom and a top "normal" 120mm fan exhausting out the top. Performance was awesome.

Defy Belief · 19 Jun 2024 at 13:45

Looks like it's setup well then, goodo

thanks both!

Just need to dust it out, so removing everything so when I put it back together I wanted to make sure it was in the best orientation to save putting it back together again.

Recently purchased the NR200P V2 case whilst it was in stock. I currently have the H2O case however, the daughter has taken a shine to it and wanted to convert to SFF and has pouched mine.
