I thought I had posted a pic of my build, about a years ago... can't find it on here though.

I got the SAMA IM-01 about six months ago, and I prefer it over the NR200 - it's barely any bigger and offers a lot more compatibility. The NR200 is a great case, but I think CM missed a trick. Once I have enough spare cash for a EK-Quantum Vector FE RTX 3090 GPU block, I'll be trying out a...

SAMA IM-01 here - The biggest air cooler I got in mine was the Scythe FUMA 2, which comfortably handles a 5950X I had some Noctua A12x25s already, so upgrading the fans was obvious.

Blasphemer!!

It does look like something I'd like to have a play with but, if another sff case arrives at my door in the near future, I might wake to find I'm missing vital pieces of my anatomy.

Must be something specific to the island, Tre. When I click on your link it shows £40 shipping to my post code.

Eeesh, £40 shipping, irregardless of whether you're buying a server or a CPU.

I'd be interested to learn how you get on.

Now that is interesting. I was looking around for a big fin stack so I can deshroud mine and cool it with case fans.

It finally arrived! That was such a long wait. On the plus side, no customs charges - yay! However, no dust filters on the two side panels - boo! Luckily, I have a couple of spare mesh filters for my NR200, which fit the SAMA panels perfectly. The little box of fittings was a nice touch -...

For those who are interested, the case is available under a number of different names: SAMA IM-01 Tecware Fusion Inter-Tech IM-1 ITEK Case Evoke NOX Extreme Cube Gaming Axel There may be more, but that's all I've found so far.

No, I didn't mean that - I own a NR200. I meant that it might be from the same OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). There are so many design similarities that it's probably made in the same factory at least.

Found it on sale at AliExpress then stacked paypal and Honey discounts to get it for ~£78 shipped to the UK. I can live with that. Just have to wait about ten weeks for it to get here! 🙄 The side rad mount and the way the corners of the frame are designed makes me think this is the same OEM...

This looks like a ever-so-slightly bigger NR200 - No bad thing. I'm trying to source one in the UK, because I don't fancy effectively doubling the price to order from Newegg and having it shipped over.

Been waiting almost a month for my A2000 - Scan are being less than helpful. Shocker, I know.
