hey guys and welcome back to another harmonics review we are noticing a trend with many keys manufacturers and that is the direction to deliver more affordable cases while still providing decent features for various configurations so we're checking out the cooler master and 200 a micro ATX case that will set you back about $50 and considering some constant sales going online you'll most likely stumble upon a deal you can't refuse now it's not the most of attractive cases but the front mesh with piano gloss on the sides is actually quite nice keeping through this minimalistic look we do have a single v in the quarter and a 3.5 inch drive bay and unfortunately installing an optical drive won't keep the front looking uniform moving on to the connections nothing unusual here just your power reset buttons audio jacks and three USB ports only one of which is USB 3 still would be nice to have more there's no removable dust filter unfortunately but cleaning the mesh regularly will keep the dust away removing the front panel we find dual intake options for 120 millimeter fans which can be installed on either side of the frame now you see this has potential for a push-pull water cooling setup but on that and bit later at the bottom we find decent rubberized case feet along with the dust filter for your path of life now given this is a micro ATX case only four PCI slots are available at the back obviously with the bottom mount power supply every our exhaust fan is included with smaller mounting options available now our additional airflow can either be delivered from the side panel or from the top both of which can be utilized for improved cooling the table salt has a removable dust filter attached with these rubber nails of course it will be a pain to clean if the fan is installed but you can always position the dust filter above the frame now the case internals are very well designed for storage and also water cooling you can mount up to fours as these with everything in place one below the 3.5 inch tube a and on top the hard drive cage very simple to install and swap out now two more SSDs can be mounted at the back wall using rubber grommets and cutouts are placed appropriately for all your connections now the 3.5 inch drive just slide inside the cage and are mounted with screws and I really would have liked to see a dualist approach on the hard drive cage which would really simplify your entire assembly and of course for water cooling lovers this micro ATX case just might be it removing the hard drive cage and the top 3.5 inch bay clears up room for a dual radiator to be installed and also being able to install fans outside of the frame I push a pull configuration is possible but you can also mount the hard drive cage a little further back leaving 2.5 inches of internal clearance for your radiator now given this is a small case not much room is given in the back almost none actually so the cable tie notches will definitely come in handy also notice the 8 pin CPU cutout is missing meaning you have to route your cable underneath the motherboard just keep that in mind during assembly now the internal design is the way it is to avoid compromises you can still have plenty of storage while installing larger GPUs so anything up to 14.5 inches is no problem also the front intake installed you get there for free graphics card and for the motherboard area as well now the top fan may cause some clearance issues particularly if you have a wide CPU heatsink something to keep in mind if you are ambitious on making an enthusiast gaming rig out of the end 200 so in summary the N 200 is an impressive case in almost all the aspects with decent airflow internal spacing and storage options water cooling support and of course a very affordable price tag now on the downside mounted optical drive will disturb the uniformity of the front panel and of course liquid dust filter on the main intake is a bummer but all in all ku master has delivered an excellent budget oriented case with excellent features and damn good value so thanks guys for watching and we'll see you in the next one
