Hi all

So last week I was stuck between the TU150 and the NR200 cases, thought I'd put it out there to see what cases you'd all recommend...

I'm considering the below:

NZXT H200i (had one before)
Jonsbo U1 Plus
Lian Li Tu150
Coolermaster Nr200p

Anything you guys have built in please feel free to share

I want it to have a windowed side panel, also enough places to fit fans and an AIO

cheers
 
You need to tell us what you want to put in it!
I've just come out of a Parvum M-ATX R1 because I wanted a 3rd 360mm rad to help tame my CPU / GPU loop but my my old PENTIUM CPU on a single 120 rad all in one cooler is quite happy in a Parvum X 2.0 ITX case, it docent get overly taxed World of Tanks and Zwift but all is well and quiet in its world! (GFX R9 270X)
My old 4970K is more than happy in its ASUS Maximus Z97 mobo with its R9 290x GFX on 2 x 360 rads in a circa 2006 Lian Li gorgeous full tower aluminium case again world of Tanks, Warhammer, Football Manager GTA V both rigs at 1080p.
So a little more info would help.
 
To be honest, if your looking at building now, you might want to look at what you can actually buy.

As far as I am aware the NR200P has only had two substantial restocks since it’s launch and those sold out instantly or were already pre-sold.
 
If you want an AIO then the TU150 is out, and NR200 is... complicated. The latter basically has three mounting options; side panel (no window), bottom (vertical GPU & the AIO will run inefficiently), or top (which involves hacking the case to bits to mod a top mount in).

Personally, NR200 would be my pick. But the best options in that case are air cooling + window panel, or AIO + vented panel.

Jonsbo U1 Plus seems like an odd pick? There's no AIO support at all in that case, and it only supports 133mm tower coolers and short GPUs. Would have thought the A4 would be the better pick?

Not the same remotely as those you have listed OP but I am waiting for a Thermaltake T100 itx case and although not as small as the cases you list but it supports full size atx psu, long gpu and AIO (limited to 120mm).

Maybe worth a look.
