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

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:20.760
look at the n200 it's about time microatx started

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.240
really getting the attention it deserves as a performance Computing platform

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:29.279
because there have been motherboards for a long time but there haven't really

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:33.440
been any great case options for you know liquid cool high performance microatx

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:39.719
systems and this is all changing very quickly so the n200 is cooler Master's

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:45.600
uh sort of kick at the can here with support for up to

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.199
355 mm gra uh graphics cards I think

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

00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:57.120
Radiator in the front single 120 mil Radiator in the back removable hard

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:03.320
drive cage mesh front for optimal cooling all that good stuff

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

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:12.920
ahead and flip this bad boy over here we go pop these out because

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.600
otherwise they get caught on things and they drive me

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

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:26.600
Zapped me with static see this is why you want to ground yourself before

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

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:35.159
an unboxing recently on another case where I kind of gave it a pass anyway

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.720
because these matx cases aren't that heavy even once they're loaded up so

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.240
they don't need as much protection in shipping and Cooler Master has been

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

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:50.320
on the foam before shipping a bunch of

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

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:59.520
products it's better to just do the validation in the first place so here my

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

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:07.920
the bottom here is the removable fan filter for the rear mounted bottom

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.160
mounted power supply it comes off a little something like that and slips

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.640
back in a little something like that it locks into place so you won't

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

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

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:31.480
over the place and let's go ahead and flip this bad boy

00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:33.400
over on the front we find some mesh okay

00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:37.239
we also find some glossy plastic so we're going to go ahead and take the

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

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

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:48.040
there's some some glossy plastic this is an interesting IO combination on the

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:53.040
front so you got your reset switch your power switch your uh presumably activity

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

00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:02.400
headphone microphone USB 2 and a single USB 3 Port now I personally

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

00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:10.720
personal system I have only two usb3 ports in the front and it kind of drives

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:14.519
me crazy because there's a particular device that I have and every time I plug

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.599
it in it blue screens because USB 3 compatibility isn't always quite to the

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

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:25.959
plug something into the front for convenience not necessarily for maximum

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.480
performance so I do still like to see that uh looks like the front bezel pops

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.959
off just like this and you can get some addition ventilation in the front there

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

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.080
here what do we find um

00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:45.439
ventilation okay there you go that's what it looks like not attached to the

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

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:51.799
you can do a 2X 120 mm cooler in the

00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:55.040
front regardless of the spacing this is really smart I like this approach where

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

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.040
120 mm fans that goes in the front so regardless of how the spacing works you

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

00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:09.799
easily it looks like Cooler Master might

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.079
intend for you to install things this way so you can pop out your Bay covers

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:42.759
correctly for your graphics card if you're using an internal exhaust

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:46.880
graphics card slick can you hand me one of those maybe that XFX one right there

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

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.639
the case I would generally recommend using this as an exhaust so the graphics

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

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

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

00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:10.280
going to want to go ahead and use that as an exhaust intake is perfect though

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:15.039
for a blower style card which most reference cards usually are with the

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:21.600
notable exception being AMD's all new $79.90 which uses a triple fan cooler on

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.440
the top you find room for either a 120

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

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

00:05:30.039 --> 00:05:34.520
seen that before um the 120 mm Fen is

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.720
offset that's going to give you better compatibility with motherboards that

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.039
have beefy cooling components up at the top of them this side has a little bit

00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.199
of extra space punched out for cable management we've seen this before and I

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:49.479
actually don't mind that approach because it keeps the overall case nice

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.240
and slim but gives you enough room for the cable management that you need in

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:56.880
the back this is a fairly value conscious case so I'm not expecting

00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:01.240
anything exceptional in terms of like huge you know thick steel side panels

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

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

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

00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:17.919
on the inside we find our internal connectors as well as a fairly unique

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

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

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:33.680
in Drive mounts here there are two of them look like they are in intended to

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:37.199
be removed so you can go ahead and take these screws out take out the bottom

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

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:44.880
solid though so you can take that out and that gives you more flexibility in

00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:50.319
terms of cooling options up here and it also allows you to utilize the rear

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:55.280
mounted SSD mounts so here you go they include little grommets which are in

00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:58.800
here look a little something like that there's your grommets don't worry too

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

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.919
two ssds here on the back of the motherboard tracet can I get an SSD

00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:11.360
preferably a non- Cooler Master conflicting brand one that one's fine

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

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

00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.360
everyone should love ssds the same amount that I do and I like having more

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.080
options for mounting them on the back of things as opposed to on the front of

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

00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:35.120
mass for your mass storage then this is a perfect perfect option for the case

00:07:32.919 --> 00:07:39.319
just pull that out get more cooling awesome okay huge CPU cutout is right

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.680
here not that much Flex to the motherboard tray considering again the

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

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

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

00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:03.280
get any sort of uh C from the power supply up here you're

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:08.520
going to want to be utilizing that however it should be noted guys you will

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:10.599
not be routing your 24 pin connector

00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:15.080
behind the motherboard tray in this case that is not going to be happening your

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:19.120
power suppli is going to go right here and you're going to mount

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

00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:28.400
the motherboard which is probably going to be right around here there's more SSD

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

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

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

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:43.800
like if you pull really it looks like if

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

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

00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:59.440
the back could it be I don't know maybe it's

00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:04.000
not intended as a mount but you could SE certainly Chuck one there without much

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.200
difficulty so you can kind of put SSD sort of anywhere you want I wonder what

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:11.640
that's for I'm going to find out what that's

00:09:09.560 --> 00:09:14.560
for okay so it looks like that's probably intended for just Cable

00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:18.480
Management so you can check your power supply cables back there however I'm I

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

00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:26.279
SSD mounts here here here and here so

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:32.200
there's four sort of proper ones that aren't me sort of ghetto rigging things

00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:34.839
um four expansion slots which is pretty

00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:39.959
normal for matx single 120 mm cooling fan in the back but you

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

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:48.120
covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the n200 from

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:53.519
Cooler Master it should be noted that the advanced version comes with two USB

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
