Fractal Design Node 202 itx case.

Anyone had experience with this case? 

My sister is building an itx system, but she can't decide between the nzxt 210i and this case.

They are too different to be compared... the H210 is just a significantly bigger case, which means easier to work with and holds bigger parts (especially CPU air coolers) at the cost of taking up more space.

One important consideration is that the hardware small enough to for in the node will be much more expensive and there will be much less upgradability in the node then the H210

She plans to use a corsair h100i platinum for cpu cooling

Node 202 can't hold any AIO at all, unless you mount the radiator externally and cut holes to let the tubes pass through...
