    Introduction

    In a world where you can get some of the most advanced computer cases it is nice to see that companies are still making a simple chassis with support for the latest modern conveniences.  For this review we will be breaking our enthusiast mold and getting back to our modding roots with a case that can be excellent off the shelf and, even better in the hands of a skilled modder.  The Cooler Master N200 is a simple mainstream case designed to be compact yet very flexible.

    Now before you cringe at the sight of a mainstream chassis you should know that this tiny gem sports some really cool features like allowances for watercooling, MicroATX motherboards, seven storage drives and long video cards like the AMD Radeon HD 7990.

    Modding is still a big part of building a computer either it be in component selection or pimping up the chassis the personalization of your computer is a large part of ownership.  That isn't to say you have to modify every case you buy but, every chassis should offer those opportunities and that his how we do our reviews.
