Air cooling was one of the primary reasons the original NR200 was so popular, well that and its entry price. We are not exactly sure why CoolerMaster thought switching to AIO only for v2 was the right direction for the case. Large tower air coolers have become extremely good and very affordable. It feels counterproductive to exclude such a wide market segment in this cases targeted price bracket. You should think of the NR200P v2 as more of an NR200P MAX, but without the PSU and radiator, than an NR200 successor.
