Features an offset so that a standard 3.5" HDD ends up sitting 17mm left and 10mm up relative to the original plate. This is to make more space for cables or fan hubs mounted to the right of the HDD on the inside “wall” of the front panel. But mainly this design exists to make space for a full length GPU passing underneath the HDD.

Update (06/2023): This has now been tested with a full length GPU and it works given you use a SATA data + power elbow adapter/connector. It is also recommended to buy a 3rd party flexible/slim SATA data cable (at least 30cm in length), as the standard cables are incredibly stiff and makes cable management for this mod nearly impossible. Link of example SATA data cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IBA3ITK/
OR https://www.moddiy.com/products/SAS-SSD-High-Speed-6Gbps-SATA3-SATA-III-Cable-30cm.html (Type B - Standard variant is recommended)

Here's a link of an example of a right angle SATA adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JCV7QC7
Pay close attention to the direction the connector is facing. The linked connector has the “up-angled” variant pre-selected. The pictures will tell you that this means the connectors will exit toward the back of the HDD, and thus toward the PSU in the NR200. Hence the naming is opposite of what most people think it means, and the reviews will tell you this.

If for some reason, after all this effort, a GPU still doesn't fit underneath the HDD (you might have a very tall GPU backplate), I have a feeling that taking some time to sand down the height of the SATA adapter (on its “butt”) will give enough clearance for the GPU.

So why go through all of this effort to mount the HDD vertically, when it's perfectly fine horizontally as intended by Cooler Master? This looks much better (IMO), it does not block the view of the RAM, it also frees up a more direct airflow path toward the CPU cooler (admittedly while blocking more of the top fan), and it makes the HDD itself less visible in the case (black vinyl wrap on HDD highly recommended).
