At Computex in 2023 Cooler Master showed off this very interesting SFF case that has an included cooling and power solution. Does it live up to the hype from the prototype shown off last year and is it better than the NR200P MAX?

    You should probably actually watch this video all the way through ;)

    Thanks for all you do. Suddenly my favourite case reviewers stopped doing case reviews. You became the last one to do it regularly. I watch all your case reviews. Even the ones I know I won't buy for sure.

    Love the idea of including a cooler and psu. Cable management and compatibility are the 2 most intimidating parts of small form factor, and this makes it a little easier.
  • @nimrodery
    I'm not triggered I just miss the weird hand cat-scratcher thingy. At first it was creepy but now I feel there's something missing. But thanks for the callout.
  • @medejae
    I love how far CoolerMaster has come. Huge improvement. Entering the giveaway btw!
  • @Sent2Strike
    My favourite thing about the computer was how fast you did the build. I built in an SSUPD Meshify and it was a pain in the neck, that looked painless and as always nick beautiful build!

    Jonsbo VR3: $83 Whatever 850w SFX or SFX-L PSU you want: $239 280mm EVGA CPU AIO: $99 (routinely $85 or less with eBay sales) Total: $421 It's a pretty case, but I'm not sure how this is worth $599 even on the 8th day of a week.
  • @YWeeJun
    This is awesome, and sold me the case. You're awesome
  • @m3andchip5
    I already like my NR200 but I can see myself 'upgrading' to this case! :D
  • @wenicu3
    Ending of the vid was awesome; love the small footprint of pc cases; im always on the lookout for vertical cases
  • @St.thr33
    I've spent the last few days looking at small form factor PC's and then this video pops up in my feed, perfect timing!
  • I'm a itx guy so this is really the next level of integration of coolers and power supply. love it! Need it!
  • @Drewstorm
    My favourite part of this case is the looks and ease of building in for beginners! I'm a bit disappointed that the teal colour wasn't part of the launch, but I certainly wouldn't say no to a wonderful giveaway :D Thanks Nick! Love the content.
  • Yes, 140mm would be great. Also, the case looks more proportional when extended, even with the black vertical stripes which add an appeal.
  • @silver_awab
    my fav thing is the sff , this PC and a portable monitor will be perfect
  • @kaisersfinest391
    Jaw dropping case! I have an 4000D RGB build, and I can picture this on my desk!
  • @fujicink
    I’ve been tinkering with this case for months. If you can live with the fan noise under loads then be it. If you’re like me, alot of components needs to be swap and alot of undervolt to keep it cool and quiet. 14700k and 4070ti super btw.
  • @DesuVR
    I wanted to love this case, but the power supply was by far the loudest component in my build. I have misophonia so I'm sensitive to certain noises and ended up going back to my old whisper-quiet ATX build for the time being.
  • @DiddyReviews
    great video, love this case, wish i could afford one and all the bits to make a system like this.
  • @tioa1720
    This is a dream small form factor build! Its so compact its perfect for people living in small spaces🔥 i love it!
