The Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P MAX is a Mini-ITX PC case from Cooler Master's MAX Series, designed to hold next-generation components and long graphics cards. It is a chassis, not a complete computer, so it has no processor, memory or storage of its own. Thinvent does not make a Mini-ITX case. The closest Thinvent alternative is the Thinvent Treo Mini PC, a complete compact computer that ships with its processor, memory, storage and operating system built in.
