Alternative to Nr200P - with ATX PSU support

conuk · 4 Jan 2022 at 13:48

Hi all - happy new year.

Was looking to change my case now Im moving it to the mancave/another room.

Currently have a little Thermaltake V1 (with side panel off) .. so now I can go Big (ger) boy.

5900x
Aurus x570i mobo
MSI RTX 2080 super ventus (will be 3080 / AMD equiv) shortly.
Corsair ATX 650 PSU
Noctua NH U12s Aircooler - will be changed soon to better Air cooler or AIO - any recommendations based on new case?

Was looking at a compact case but with decent ventilation etc.
The Nr200p looked decent but my PSU doesn't fit. So instead of forking out for another PSU might as well get a different case.

Is there something similar size but ATX PSU compliant - granted it kinda defeats the object of getting a smaller case .. but talking £160 to change to the Nr200p.

So looking for recommendations on
Case / (would like to keep under £150)
New cooler for 5900x
or would you change PSU as well to SFX?

The Nr200p supports an atx psu with the official bracket or the stl is available to 3d print one.

i have nr200 and mettalicgear neo g mini
neo g mini is not that much bigger and supports atx

Throw in my favorite Raijintek Thetis

210 x 360 x 366 mm
so almost same size as Neo G mini

Will take ATX PSU and tall CPU coolers.
Will take ATX motherboard in fact
With intake fans on top, the 3080 will feel quite comfy.

Thanks guys.
Looking to get something in the next week or so.

Lian Li Q58 and SSUPD Meshlicious both support ATX power supplies.

Bit the bullet and went for something a bit roomier as Ive now got the mancave back so space is more premium :

LIAN LI O11 AIR MINI, MIDI-TOWER, TEMPERED GLASS - WHITE

now for a new cooler for this 5900x if anybody would care to recommend.

Homework not done

ordered a Dark Rock Pro at the same time - didn't want to go water and stay with Air. Now realise this wont fit by 5-10 mm or so - Why Lian Li did you make an AIR case but not make it fit with the 2 best air coolers on the market?!

Cant be bothered sending case back so can anybody recommend an AIO or if there is an air cooler that fits and is good enough to cool my 5900x?
Bit of a minefield with AIOs - would like to keep around 150 - not too fussed on RGB ... quietness would be preferred.
