To see them evolve is a pleasure of ours &#8211; and today&#8217;s highlight here is the MasterBox NR600. This is a full-sized ATX case with an affordable price tag, yet manages to bring features like no others.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Cooler Master Malaysia for the MasterBox NR600! The MasterBox NR600 (<strong>RM299<\/strong>) is an ATX case whereby the smaller variant, the MasterBox NR400 (<strong>RM249<\/strong>), is an mATX case with an overall smaller form factor.

One of the key feature of the MasterBox NR600 is the support for an ODD &#8211; or a 5.25-inch optical disk drive &#8211; at the top of the front panel. This is a\u00a0<em>very<\/em> rare feature since it is pretty much nonexistent in modern-day PC cases.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"27494\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/overview-cooler-master-masterbox-nr600\/cooler-master-masterbox-nr600-11\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cooler Master MasterBox NR600\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Cooler Master MasterBox NR600&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-27494 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Cooler Master MasterBox NR600\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"27494\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/overview-cooler-master-masterbox-nr600\/cooler-master-masterbox-nr600-11\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cooler Master MasterBox NR600\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Cooler Master MasterBox NR600&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-27494 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Cooler Master MasterBox NR600\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-NR600-11.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The side panel design is different from the others as well.
