Cooler Master N200 Case Review

As the specs indicated this is an extremely small case making it just large enough for a MicroATX motherboard and power supply with a few drives up front.   The case is windowless but does feature panel embossing on both sides and a single cooling vent along the side.

Along the reverse you will find the same basic embossing without any window effects or fan positions.  Embossing has become a rather popular feature in cases these days with the primary reason to provide you with more internal volume for extra tall heatsinks and extra wires.  The emboss also allows the frame of the chassis to be slightly thinner and thus cost less to manufacture.  It may seem minor but over the course of a run the savings can add up.

Turning the N200 around exposes a typical chassis layout with four expansion slots and single 120mm exhaust fan.  There are two additional knockouts for hoses and wires if you opt for an external watercooling unit.

Power supply is located at the bottom of the N200 under the motherboard and draws air in thru a filtered opening on the underside of the case.   This position has become rather popular in recent years due to improved cable management and system cooling.

Front panel connections are an important feature in any modern chassis and we are happy to report that both power and reset buttons are located along the front along with analog audio connections and three USB.  The standard N200 comes with two USB 2.0 and a single USB 3.0 whereas the Advanced edition swaps these giving you two USB 3.0 ports with a single USB 2.0.
