Basically the NR200 but natively supports mATX with no mods (the height dimensions of the case seem to line up with this). Also has a front mic port (NR200 doesn't have one).

I have the NR200P and am quite happy with it, but I can see why you'd buy this over it. Especially if you want NR200P-like usability with mATX support.

IM02 is on sale too (which comes with the glass panel, same as the NR200P).

Debating between this and an ASUS AP201... can't make up my mind

SAMA IM01: 397.26 mm x 187.96 mm x 307.85 mm (H x W x D)
ASUS AP201: 350.01 mm x 204.98 mm x 459.99 mm

Shipping up to $39.99 for me on the IM01. Too bad, I'd have bitten with $14.99.

NO FREE SHIPPING, BOOOO! Wish Amazon matched prices, rather not give newegg my money (particularly after they screwed over Gamers Nexus)

Otherwise decent case. Wish CM would make a NR200p like this instead of letting these folks just rip off their design.

It's okay, but NR200p feels much higher quality with a metal front panel and overall fit/finish and steel thickness feels better made. Also nice how CM includes a TG and Mesh panel for some variety.
I'd have jumped on this if It were white and this price 1.5 years ago, scored the NR200p for $60 and then ziptied in an ATX PSU, then got a A520 mATX mobo that fit the NR200p... BUT I overpayed for my 5600X which was $270 on sale at the time (5600 non-X was then released and was $150 recently). Win some, lose some I guess.

i've got both. IM01 (white) in my arcade machine and the NP200P (white) as wfh dekstop. both have the same build quality in terms of metal thickness, paint, accessories and machining. funny enough, the AP201 was the third option on my list.

the only reason to choose the NP200P is if you've already decided to spend more on M-ITX. full ATX power supply fits the IM01 out of the box (no zip ties). if i could go back in time, i'd get two IM01's for the simple fact i wouldn't need to pay the outrageous M-ITX and SFX power supply taxes for essentially no gain. lesson learned, hence this post.

Ackyshually, NR200P is a ripoff of the Ncase M1. This case is nearly a replica of the Ncase M1, albeit bigger, and matx instead itx.
