ANTEC NX Series NX500M, Mesh Front Panel, Type-C 3.2 Gen2 Ready, 1 x 120mm Fan Included, Tempered Glass Side Panels, 360mm Radiator Support, Mini-Tower M-ATX Gaming Case

Great m-atx case. It held all my fans and it's extremely small and lightweight. I used it for a build that I sold on Jawa.

the MB for one assembly was a bit too pushed in. Maybe I need some kind of washers to have risers abit higher. The quality is OK. it is not phenomenal like some pricey cases but is adequate, no sharp edges, but the front plastic feels a bit cheap because it has plastic posts that do not have any type of clip mechanism to push or press to remove. Removing the front was a bit tricky. I was trying to push the posts/pins on the inside of the case out but I had not really put much pressure and the pull on the front of the panel easily removed it then. That part seems flimsy but in reality is holding together well. Standard power supply sized space it looks like.Glass door comes off by pulling up all the way. Good routing holes for cables. USB cable for USB C has an indent and once on the MB, if the socket has a lock it will not come off, i did not know that and pulled it off and the socket came off the mother board. I was only trying to reroute the cable. So connect correctly the first time. I had to align the pins carefully and push the socket over the pins on the MB. Works fine.One 2.5 SSD spot and a drive bay that could take two 2.5 SSDs on adapters or one HDD 3.5 and one 2.5 SSD with adapter. The photos show that Antec logo is on the left side which is bigger than the right, in fact, the two sides are identical and symmetrical. The photo is wonky. Too many holes on top there is concernt for dust accumulating faster. Fits M-ATX and ITX boards NOT regular ATX. Easy connect USB 3 ports. space for fans as indicated in manufacturer description.CONS: no 5.25 drive bay for a DVD/BD. for that we need to upgrade to a mid tower I guess.More: I had originally ordered and received a different case that had acrylic window/panel. I returned that and bought a second Antec case. I had an Antec large tower in 1999/2000 and hence I knew the quality would be good. Not as good as 1999, But companies have figured out that his is all we need, less material, lighter, but still practical and usable. Enough screws and risers for installing the MB and drives. the 2.5ssd bay is plastic, works ok, but feels flimsy. But works fine. No need to waste metal in manufacturing.

Antec is a brand that I've used off and on for over 20 years and have always made quality cases. They kind of drifted into the background over the last 10 years but have now re-emerged with a few different case designs for different price points.I recently purchased 3 of these cases to do entry-level builds to resell for the holiday rush. The NX200 M is a budget design that is air-flow-focused with a mesh front intake. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel with its design, but it's a quality construction and decent aesthetics case that performs well when paired with mid grade hardware (ryzen 5 / core i5, 30/4060 Series GPU). It's very easy to work in and a great option for a case that would look just fine on any desk.I'm excited for the brand as I just recently got to build in a new Antex Flux Pro case and was amazed at the quality that went into its design and construction. Antec is a brand to keep an eye on once again.

Badass ccase. Built a spare guest PC for home and a friend saw it and said "I need a decent gaming system, how much" so almost $1k later he now has the guest PC. Saw no issues with it. great for a mobile power house. I bought a standard gate handle and attached it to the top and now have a perfect carry around desktop that my friend can use anywhere.

TL;DR -- excellent case for a normal buildAfter the first time I made a build with this case, I knew it was good. I have since bought 4 more.The removable glass door is both functional and attractive. It makes for very easy access.The right side removable panel is easy to get off and on as well.The case has a great place to stuff extra long cables, making cable management easy.The included case fan is plenty for an average build, so I didn't need to add anymore.The bottom mounted power supply provides stability for the whole case.The only issue there is a limited space for the power supply fan. A high-powered PSU might need more room to breathe, however that wasn't an actual problem I faced.The SSD mount was a little tight fitting in the drive, but not a big deal either.I built machines for some offices, so a GPU was not added. Therefore I can't speak on how well one would fit.

After first case was returned and promptly replaced due to broken glass (poor box design for shipping) I was able to start my build.Pros: overall size works well in my compact space, easily accommodates full size power supply at bottom (with caveat in cons) Three provided fans (RGB model). Plenty of space for CPU cooler and 2-fan or larger GPU with good airflow . Nicely placed USB and power switch at top/front where accessible. Looks good with RGB off.Cons:Although technically will fit 2 - HDD, they are extremely cramped next to power supply leaving almost no room for cable routing from power supply without severely bending cables to avoid drive cage. My two drive raid storage array also running hotter due to cramped space. Would not buy this case if using spinning drives; otherwise easily remove cage and use one provided SDD space or more likely the multiple M2 slots on most modern motherboards. . Also, the RGB fans are not addressable, so be aware you cannot change speed or color. Fortunately Antec provided a convenient off-switch for the RGB lighting. Case construction is actually decent, using thin but well finished aluminum.
