I've seen posts saying the node 202 only has 10.1mm max clearance for hard drives, is this true? just wanted to clarify that.

It will fit the 15mm drive but without the stock bracket. it will be fine.

Well the pictures at newegg are a little confusing... some show a 3.5" drive, others a 2,5" one. 

 

That specific one 2.5" drive is 15mm high... so that one would fit, but another 2.5" won't. 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

Are you going to build a custom loop in node 202?

Well, I thought you will put 8700k in it with watercooling. The temp in node 202 will be a huge issue. 8700k is too hot to fit in, even 8600k which is what I am using.

i was gonna go ryzen 7 2700x with cryorig c7 CU, i might undervolt a bit if its an issue, but im going to be building my own custom case soon enough so until then the cryorig c7 Cu should do the job :)

I'll post a build log when i get the parts :) follow it if your interested, ill update you on this post when i get the stuff.

 

also i think the glossy black and the matte black on the node 202 looks ugly so i'll be sanding it, priming it then spray paining it white.
