CoolerMaster NR200P v2 is a steel, vertical GPU layout ITX case at 18.25L in volume. The NR200 v2 keeps mostly to the original aesthetics, with little NCORE mixed in. It features a number of compatibility changes, include moving radiator support from side to the top of the case and vertical GPU support only. This limits air cooler / pump block clearance to 67mm. The NR200P v2 is available for purchase at Amazon (paid link).

CONCLUSIONS
Strong air cooling was one of the primary benefits of the original NR200, aswell as it’s low entry price. We are unsure why CoolerMaster believed switching to AIO only for v2 was the right direction for the case. Large tower air coolers are extremely popular and affordable. In summary, the NR200P v2 is more of an NR200P MAX barebones kit, rather than an NR200 successor.
