NR200 Owner's Thread

Coming from an Ncase M1, the bottom panel is one of the things I liked on this case :p IIRC it's secured by just one screw(?). The M1 uses something like 9(!) screws to do the job. Took ages to do anything on the bottom panel in that case.

The removable bottom panel is a great idea, I was referring to maintaining the dust filter, slide out is much better than having to lift the case to remove the filter and again to refit it, especially when wiring is as tight as mine is at the back

Oh that. Pretty standard SFF unfortunately; magnetic filters take up less space. Even the expensive cases use them.
 
I feel like the build quality related gripes listed are pretty negligable when you consider the price and form factor of the case! It's got less compromises than any smaller case than I can think of and supports hardware that a lot of bigger cases can struggle with at times. It's also very affordable for what it offers, it's a fraction of the price of the Ncase or NZXT H1 for example!

I'd say if your biggest grumbles are the power button being plastic, having to live the case to remove a fan filter and the top panel being slightly flimsy when removed.... #firstworldproblems :D
Sure it's a shame that the case wasn't a tiny bit wider to open up some more heatsink options though.

I looked at the TU150 as an option, but it's not got the option of using any 240mm radiators, you can only have the graphics card horizontal, it's going to be a fingerprint magnet being brushed aluminium plus you've got that wasted space at the top! Something like 2" unused space above the motherboard, and thats not including the compartment at the top with the carry handle. It's also not as compact and has a *really* flimsy power button! :p

With these ITX cases you've got a venn diagram of features and no case manages to do everything!

For sure. I was looking at the Sliger SM580 prior to getting my heart set on the NR200 - at close to £300 all in - so this was a welcome surprise cost wise.

Mini 011 is due October now. Decided to go for that over the NR200 due to its ability to hold bigger boards, and do full on watercooling easier. But it's going to be considerably larger. Wouldn't class it as SFF.

Quote from LianLi, "Be ready for an epic launch in October, we’ve got big things planned!"

Seeing how they keep postponing it, how much can we trust this though... Every month they need a little bit longer :p
 
To be fair, the changes they have already revealed would mean major manufacturing changes. Lian Li are also suggesting new things that are currently undisclosed.
 
Has anyone got the NR200 with 280 AIO on the side panel and a deshrouded GPU sitting on 2x120mm on the case bottom? For me this gives the best cooling potential for this case.

I’d be keen to see what thermal results are achieved. I have too much time researching and planning building in this case as I can’t get one.
 
Anyone lining up a 3080 for a horizontal bottom mount with the mesh panel next week? I'm torn between an FE with 2 bottom intakes or a triple slot aftermarket behemoth.

I would be doing FE with 2 bottom intakes but it would appear this case doesn't want to ever reappear so might have to revert back to the Meshify C :(
