Cooler Master V 1100 SFX Platinum & NR200P ITX Case Review

Quote

Howdy y'all. We've managed to wrangle up a couple primo products courtesy of the the good people over at Cooler Master. The star of the show in this here rodeo is their new V SFX 1100 Platinum PSU. They have also saddled that up with a MasterBox NR200P ITX case. Have Cooler Master managed to be the highlight of the hootenanny or has someone poisoned the watering hole? I reckon we're going to find out.

Fantastic job on their review for both components, Brother @Fluxmaven. I enjoyed the read and the photos.

Love how you went full on Toy Story with the beginning there.  Fitting because they're "toy sized" parts to be honest.  Love themed reading.

 

With that said, the products themselves seem like they were pretty decent.  The PSU, yeah that whole being longer than SFX form factor is a problem for sure.  Glad you were able to get things squeezed together.  Probably not the wisest thing, trying to squeeze 1100w into a SFX form factor maybe.  The case looks absolutely great though for its size!

 

I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I like this NR200P case or my Phanteks ITX case better.  This CM case is a LOT smaller, my Phanteks ITX is more of a mATX tower sized case than something ITX.  This little guy looks like its full on ITX sized, which is actually a huge plus (for somebody looking for SFF cases).

Overall, REALLY great review @Fluxmaven!  It was a pleasant read, the pictures were great, and the products spoke for themselves!

Thanks guys, I was actually just joking around with  about using goofy personas for the interviews to mix thinks up. He said go for it, so I did 

 

I'd like the PSU a lot more if it just went up to SFX-L with a bigger fan like all the competition. 

 

The case is actually on the larger side by most people's small form factor standards. It's definitely a good way to test the waters of SFF without committing to some ultra tiny case that makes you want to pull your hair out. 

 

My little sister will love it. I can tell she's never really cared for the black non-windowed Fractal Define Nano S her current system is in. Since Cooler Master didn't have the pink version, I'm just going to vinyl wrap parts of this case for a bit of a custom touch then fill it with RGB

Would love to see the finished, vinyl wrapped ending of this saga.  Make it yours (well hers).
