JONSBO has unveiled a very sleek-looking M-ATX case with the D200, which has options for a wide variety of builds, including large GPUs. M-ATX builds have become very popular in recent years as PC users seek to decrease the footprint of their systems while retaining as many features as possible of a full-sized build. Thanks to both case and motherboard (we have reviews of the MSI MAG B850M MORTAR WIFI and MSI MPG B850I EDGE TI WIFI as two good examples) manufacturers, this goal is often attainable for those who do their research and plan carefully. Thanks to its clean design, a case like the D200, said to launch on August 18th (per Guru3D) for under $50 in black or white models, offers much along the lines of configuration options and can keep things looking nice at the same time.
The D200 allows for graphics cards up to 410mm in length to be installed, meaning even the most gigantic cards could still fit. Those eyeing such a behemoth GPU still need to consider how thick the card is, along with slot placement on the motherboard, but many options are still available. Less-thick cards can be further cooled by installing 3x 120mm fans on the bottom portion of the case. Cooling options include up to 7x 120mm fans with mixing and matching either 2x 140mm, along with the option of using a single 240mm AIO on the top of the case. Unlike some other M-ATX cases, the D200 places the PSU in the more traditional bottom compartment of the case and supports standard PSUs up to 170mm in length. Ports on the side of the case offer the somewhat usual modern configuration with 1x USB3.2 Type-C, 2x USB3.0, and 3.5mm audio I/O. The front of the case features a stylish LCP display showing the CPU temperature (unknown if this can be configured for other readings).

Join Discussion →For some reason when I read "curved glass panel" I was definitely thinking this thing was going to be a concaved curve like the curved widescreen displays. When I seen the curve just wrapped around the front I was like oh, yeah. That makes more sense.
I do like the panel on the side of the case though. Nice place for it if you're mounting your PC on the right side of your desk. Accessing panels on the top when the case is sitting on a desk usually means you either gotta feel around for it or stand up and see. Having it right there makes for easy, quick access for plugging in things like usb drives.
The downside to putting the panel where they did is that it limits user options. Otherwise, they need a left-hand version for people who want to keep their case on the left instead of the right.
As a lefty, I've always been annoyed by the mostly one-sided approach to case designs. Another reason I love the Lian Li Dan M-Atx case. Not as pretty but they do get the job done and I don't need to be annoyed by which side of a desk/table they get put on.
I mean if you're gonna put the case on your desk you're most likely wanting to be able to see inside the case so you'll put it on the right. I don't think it much matters what your dominate hand is in relation to where you put a PC case.
For situations where the case sits better on the desk on the left side (like its up against the wall on that side) then the side panel isn't the only issue. Might want to reverse the whole case layout so the window is on the other side as well.
Yeah, curved glass and/or wrap-around becomes a confusing description in either sense. I thought about saying wrap-around as some others have, but to me that means it goes entirely from one side to the other, which most of these cases advertised with having curved glass often don't, but there are a few that do.
No I kinda get it - would be nice to have something reversible so I could put the computer on the ~other~ side of my desk without having the buttons or the glass face the wall. In the old beige cases it didn't matter because both sides were.. beige.
Not really to do with handedness, just how my desk is set up
As far as right/left goes, I believe that our eyes tend to drift more toward our dominant hand. We might look down when writing or using a mouse, and so wanting to look inside the case is more likely, whereas if the case can only be viewed from one side, moving it to the otherside of a desk doesn't help. Another reason I abandoned glass panel cases (although I do like their look). However, the other reason is I needed more airflow since I'm cramming 5090s and more powerful CPUs (fully expecting to replace the 9800X3D with a 12 or 16 CCD core AM5 if it becomes available).
Wow... that is a sharp looking case for 50 bucks.. im surprised.
Honest question, what do people use the extra slots in an mATX for over an ITX board? I can't think of any add in card I'd bother with other than a GPU these days.
You often get more memory and M.2 slots on Matx....
