on a hot day, even the Cooler master box comes in handy, PURRFECT!


The NR200P as the TG window in the box with the case


NR200P accessory box that contains: 2 x SICKLEFLOW 120mm fans, PWM fan splitter, GPU Riser Cable, & a bag of screws with cable ties.



Another nice feature, The front I/O wires are fitted to an adaptor so you only need to push in the right way up on the motherboard.


Front 2.5" HDD mounting up to 1.7cm width with the front panel on.


Used 2 x 12" Short SATA Cables


Replaced the 2 top panel Coolermaster pwn fans with Arctic P12s white







Modding the case feet
I changed the case feet to ones that can be adjusted in height,
where the stock feet once were.
Now I have some height from the ground I can mount 2 more Arctic P12s using easy silicon rubber fan Pins under the bottom panel,
I also have ARGB Strip around them.




Reused the stock feet screws & holes in the bottom panel &
drilled 2x 1mm holes into the new feet base & screw the feet on.
If you don't want to use a drill on the feet then you can use 3M
Sticky double-sided sticky pads.














Case Around 93% Tidy will improve in the near future, The PCI-E power cable will be changed to white one soon also.


The Finished Build














Normal horizontal GPU Build with stock AMD RGB CPU air cooler.

Nice mod! Looking to build in NR200! Is it possible to mount 3.5in HDD in the front or we struck to only mounting HDD in front of PSU Shroud as I'm going for Dual Rad Custom loop, one Rad on the side panel and one at the bottom!

 

[mods1965]

Looks great.

 

[Darren_uk]

Hello & thank you,
This thread be updated later today with my Arctic Liquid II 240mm AIO Modded Build
The Front Case Frame as 2 x 2.5" SSD/HDD mounts
May be able to use some holes to mount a 3.5" on the front, Otherwise, you got the PSU Shroud.

Case difficult to get at mo

Update 04/09/2020

AIO Project build/Mod

Purchased the "ARCTIC LIQUID FREEZER II 240mm" a week ago
Been finding out how to install this 240mm Radiator in an optimal Spot,
The only way was by using the side rail frame, this way be no good
in mounting the GPU in the vertical position, so I turned the case
upside down & switched top & bottom panels, to install the radiator in an
an optimal spot for the flow at the top.

There's a drawback on having the case turned upside down that may effect some
is that the window side is facing your left-hand side on the table/desk,
In my CASE this was an advantage.

Was going to turn the front case frame around by
taking out the 8 black screws from the top left & right & bottom left & right
& also drilling out the POP-Revit's that join it to the motherboard frame.
but instead went for the Front I/O facing down.
did not want to weaken the structure & damage the case,
So used the top panel with front I/O holes for the bottom.








6CM Legs & 3M Sticky pads



Using the top Panel for the bottom with the fans mounted underneath

6CM Legs for good spacing from floor & fans

Changed the stock P12s


White PCI-E extension Cables with cable clips


4TB Seagate 2.5" & a 500GB Samaung SATA SSD

Updated my AIO Build above with artwork


My build setup all fans as Exhaust, bottom 2 fans taking out warm air from the GPU & PSU
vents in the window pull air in for the GPU.

Measurements /Resize on The Artwork & onto special Photo printing paper
Waterproof.
printed out by an Epson XP-750 Inkjet

Ryzen 3700x Desktop temps depending on Auto boost from 34/41c
GPU temps around 35c idle 0db fans off till 60c
Corsair SF750w PSU 0db fan is off till 350w under load

The only sound from the PC is the pump.

Nice build, lots of modding, love the artwork.

Question for you on compatibility:

In its normal orientation, would the Liquid Freezer fit on the side panel with the GPU in its normal horizontal orientation? How is the clearance between it and the PSU cover?

THis case is so intriguing as to what you can fit in, my main wonder is if you can get 280mm AIO on the side, a hard drive on the PSU cage, two 2.5" SSDs upfront, and a two and a half slot GPU in the bottom (horizontal).

 

[Darren_uk]

Hello, Not used the side rail, but an arctic 240mm be fine on the side with GPU in its normal horizontal position
280mm also be fine
RADIATOR SUPPORT - SIDE 120mm, 140mm, 240mm, 280mm, (not compatible with vertical GPU installation).

2.5" SSD/HDD on PSU Shroud be fine & 2 x 2.5"
on the front frame
be a little more tricky mounting a 3.5" HDD to the PSU shroud.

 

[koolpc]

Will def get the case when it hits the shelves!

Thanks Darren. I thought a 3.5" could go on the PSU shroud, i'll look up the manual.

 

[Darren_uk]

3.5" can go on the shroud but takes space up being a 3.5"
could be a bit tricky in some builds.

Beautiful build Darren, especially the artwork. One of the best I've seen for an ITX setup. Now to sit back and admire your work
