click the link in the video description for more details welcome to my unboxing and first

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,760
look at the n200 it's about time microatx started

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,240
really getting the attention it deserves as a performance Computing platform

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,279
because there have been motherboards for a long time but there haven't really

7
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:33,440
been any great case options for you know liquid cool high performance microatx

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:39,719
systems and this is all changing very quickly so the n200 is cooler Master's

9
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:45,600
uh sort of kick at the can here with support for up to

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,199
355 mm gra uh graphics cards I think

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:53,039
that's the number yeah 355 mm or up to 14-in graphics cards dual 120 mm

12
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:57,120
Radiator in the front single 120 mil Radiator in the back removable hard

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:03,320
drive cage mesh front for optimal cooling all that good stuff

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:07,680
and at a price that I think you folks will find pretty attractive so let's go

15
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:12,920
ahead and flip this bad boy over here we go pop these out because

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,600
otherwise they get caught on things and they drive me

17
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:22,479
crazy whoops I'm sorry I bumped the mic there my bad my bad guys ow and it

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,600
Zapped me with static see this is why you want to ground yourself before

19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:31,200
actually building a computer in a case so it uses a hard foam but again I did

20
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:35,159
an unboxing recently on another case where I kind of gave it a pass anyway

21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,720
because these matx cases aren't that heavy even once they're loaded up so

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,240
they don't need as much protection in shipping and Cooler Master has been

23
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,960
doing this for a while so I'm sure that they've done some kind of a validation

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,320
on the foam before shipping a bunch of

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,640
cases all over the world using it cuz it's really just not worth it to recall

26
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:59,520
products it's better to just do the validation in the first place so here my

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,680
friends is the n200 we're going to do something usual we're going to start on

28
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:07,920
the bottom here is the removable fan filter for the rear mounted bottom

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,160
mounted power supply it comes off a little something like that and slips

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,640
back in a little something like that it locks into place so you won't

31
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,239
accidentally pull it out although I don't think that's really an issue there are rubber feet on the bottom on the

32
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,360
plastic feet that are also on the bottom so it's not going to slip and slide all

33
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:31,480
over the place and let's go ahead and flip this bad boy

34
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:33,400
over on the front we find some mesh okay

35
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,239
we also find some glossy plastic so we're going to go ahead and take the

36
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:40,840
cover off of that very very shiny if you guys wanted to catch a glimpse of what

37
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,800
b-roll the intern looks like I'm sure I just caught him there so there you go

38
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,040
there's some some glossy plastic this is an interesting IO combination on the

39
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,040
front so you got your reset switch your power switch your uh presumably activity

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,720
LED of some sort oh that's yeah that's activity LED your power LEDs in there

41
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:02,400
headphone microphone USB 2 and a single USB 3 Port now I personally

42
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:07,319
like still having USB 2 ports in the front of my case in fact on my own

43
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,720
personal system I have only two usb3 ports in the front and it kind of drives

44
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,519
me crazy because there's a particular device that I have and every time I plug

45
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,599
it in it blue screens because USB 3 compatibility isn't always quite to the

46
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,040
same level as USB 2 and a lot of the time what you want is you just want to

47
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:25,959
plug something into the front for convenience not necessarily for maximum

48
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,480
performance so I do still like to see that uh looks like the front bezel pops

49
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,959
off just like this and you can get some addition ventilation in the front there

50
00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:39,720
just like that oh there you go it came right off no big deal okay so inside

51
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,080
here what do we find um

52
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,439
ventilation okay there you go that's what it looks like not attached to the

53
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:50,120
case we can also see what the front of the case looks like so check this out

54
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:51,799
you can do a 2X 120 mm cooler in the

55
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,040
front regardless of the spacing this is really smart I like this approach where

56
00:03:53,799 --> 00:03:59,959
what they've done is they've given you slots instead of holes for one of the

57
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:03,040
120 mm fans that goes in the front so regardless of how the spacing works you

58
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,840
can go ahead and mount it in there I also like when the front bezel pops off

59
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,799
easily it looks like Cooler Master might

60
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,079
intend for you to install things this way so you can pop out your Bay covers

61
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:17,359
so it's got a single 5 and a/4 and single 3 and 1/2 in front Bay you can

62
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,120
install them and then you can pop the whole thing back on but it's uh it's

63
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,280
it's it's kind of obnoxious when they uh attach all the wires to the front piece

64
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,199
and then you pull it off and then it's all like attached with wires and stuff so I like it when it comes off cleanly

65
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:35,320
we're going to go ahead and put that back on though so we can stop harping on the front bezel and

66
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,800
move on so on the side we've got a single 120 mm fan that is positioned

67
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,759
correctly for your graphics card if you're using an internal exhaust

68
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,880
graphics card slick can you hand me one of those maybe that XFX one right there

69
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,479
uh rather than a blower style card that sends all of the air out of the back of

70
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,639
the case I would generally recommend using this as an exhaust so the graphics

71
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:58,720
card is going to sit right around here on the inside of the case and you can

72
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,280
see that it's going to be bringing in air here and and blowing it out the top

73
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,240
of the card a lot so in order to not fight with that natural process you're

74
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,280
going to want to go ahead and use that as an exhaust intake is perfect though

75
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,039
for a blower style card which most reference cards usually are with the

76
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:21,600
notable exception being AMD's all new $79.90 which uses a triple fan cooler on

77
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,440
the top you find room for either a 120

78
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:28,360
mm or 140 mm fan and they've got a little uh little rubber pieces here that

79
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:33,120
have a little fan filter attached to them so that's sort of unique I haven't

80
00:05:30,039 --> 00:05:34,520
seen that before um the 120 mm Fen is

81
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,720
offset that's going to give you better compatibility with motherboards that

82
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,039
have beefy cooling components up at the top of them this side has a little bit

83
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,199
of extra space punched out for cable management we've seen this before and I

84
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:49,479
actually don't mind that approach because it keeps the overall case nice

85
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,240
and slim but gives you enough room for the cable management that you need in

86
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:56,880
the back this is a fairly value conscious case so I'm not expecting

87
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,240
anything exceptional in terms of like huge you know thick steel side panels

88
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,160
but it's solid enough I mean it's the same thing I said before cooler Master's

89
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,919
been doing this a while so it's not like they don't know how to make a side panel

90
00:06:06,039 --> 00:06:13,000
and a case not fall apart when you're trying to build your computer in it um

91
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:17,919
on the inside we find our internal connectors as well as a fairly unique

92
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:23,800
layout so this is kind of this is kind of neat okay so check this out we've got

93
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:28,080
where are the included pieces for these oh this is interesting so the 3 and 1/2

94
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:33,680
in Drive mounts here there are two of them look like they are in intended to

95
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:37,199
be removed so you can go ahead and take these screws out take out the bottom

96
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:40,639
screws and they're it's not riveted in in anyway you can go ahead it's nice and

97
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:44,880
solid though so you can take that out and that gives you more flexibility in

98
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:50,319
terms of cooling options up here and it also allows you to utilize the rear

99
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:55,280
mounted SSD mounts so here you go they include little grommets which are in

100
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,800
here look a little something like that there's your grommets don't worry too

101
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:02,560
much about it b-roll it's okay and so you use those and you can actually Mount

102
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,919
two ssds here on the back of the motherboard tracet can I get an SSD

103
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:11,360
preferably a non- Cooler Master conflicting brand one that one's fine

104
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:16,199
top of the pile bam thank you sir all right so here's a Samsung 830 so you'd

105
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:20,720
go ahead and pop that on there with the screws um I personally love ssds I think

106
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,360
everyone should love ssds the same amount that I do and I like having more

107
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,080
options for mounting them on the back of things as opposed to on the front of

108
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,199
things so if you're not using hard drives in your system and you're using a

109
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,120
mass for your mass storage then this is a perfect perfect option for the case

110
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:39,319
just pull that out get more cooling awesome okay huge CPU cutout is right

111
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,680
here not that much Flex to the motherboard tray considering again the

112
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:49,039
enormous CPU cutout and the fact that once you put a motherboard on it it won't be that bad and cable routing

113
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:53,919
options so this is where that popped out side comes in because if it wasn't for

114
00:07:51,680 --> 00:08:00,080
that you can see where it lines up right here is right where this is in order to

115
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:03,280
get any sort of uh C from the power supply up here you're

116
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:08,520
going to want to be utilizing that however it should be noted guys you will

117
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:10,599
not be routing your 24 pin connector

118
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:15,080
behind the motherboard tray in this case that is not going to be happening your

119
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:19,120
power suppli is going to go right here and you're going to mount

120
00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:22,960
that or you're going to take that right directly up to the 24 pin connector on

121
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:28,400
the motherboard which is probably going to be right around here there's more SSD

122
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,680
mounting options as far as I can tell they're just kind of all over the the

123
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:36,360
place this is kind of neat so it looks like there's another one here yeah so

124
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:41,680
you pop that in there and go like that so there's another one there it looks

125
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:43,800
like if you pull really it looks like if

126
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:50,000
you pull this 3 and 1/2 in Bay out there's a no no that can't be right no

127
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:54,399
no okay okay no never mind uh but it looks like there's another one here on

128
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:59,440
the back could it be I don't know maybe it's

129
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:04,000
not intended as a mount but you could SE certainly Chuck one there without much

130
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,200
difficulty so you can kind of put SSD sort of anywhere you want I wonder what

131
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:11,640
that's for I'm going to find out what that's

132
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:14,560
for okay so it looks like that's probably intended for just Cable

133
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:18,480
Management so you can check your power supply cables back there however I'm I

134
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:24,320
would be likely to sort of hide an SSD back there but anyway so there there's

135
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:26,279
SSD mounts here here here and here so

136
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:32,200
there's four sort of proper ones that aren't me sort of ghetto rigging things

137
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:34,839
um four expansion slots which is pretty

138
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:39,959
normal for matx single 120 mm cooling fan in the back but you

139
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:43,480
could put in an 80 or a 92 if you so desired and I think that pretty much

140
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:48,120
covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the n200 from

141
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:53,519
Cooler Master it should be noted that the advanced version comes with two USB

142
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,560
3.0 ports and a single USB 2.0 Port don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech
