Log NR200 Build with Dual 3.5" HDDs

[captainbridger]

I was looking for a mini-ITX case that could handle my two 8TB 3.5" HDDs and the NR200 fit the bill. I looked for someone else sharing a build with dual 3.5" drives installed in the NR200, but I couldn't find any. Finished up the build recently, so I thought I'd share.

Intel Core i7-4790K (Stock)
Noctua NH-U9 as intake (with second Noctua NF-A9 in push pull)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
Samsung 850 EVO 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III
x2 Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Computer 5400 RPM
x2 Noctua NF-A12x15 as bottom intake
x2 Noctua NF-A12x25 as top exhaust
CableMod C-Series ModFlex Classic Cable Kit (White)
CORSAIR SF Series SF600 600W 80 PLUS GOLD

Thermals are good. CPU idle in the mid to low 30° C.

Side panel off

15mm bottom fan, seems to have plenty of breathing room down there

Moved most of the cables behind the front panel. Needed to clean up the inside as much as possible to create a good open air flow between the bottom intake and the top exhaust, especially between the two 3.5" drives

Top view looking down between the two 3.5" drives, clear path to the bottom fan under the graphics card

Any questions? What should I post? I'm new here. Be nice.

Did you need any custom hardware for this (3d printed, etc), or was it supported with the provided mounts out-of-the-box?

Bro, love it. Thank you for posting this. I want to do this with a Minisforum BD790i Ryzen 9 7945HX mini-ITX MoDT board + 2 x 3.5" Seagate Exos 20TB drives.

How did you mount the right hand side 3.5" drive - it looks like it's attached to the PSU somehow??
