E-ATX Horizontal Case

greatguitartist · December 14, 2019

Hi all,

Anyone know of a good PC case that can be placed horizontally (like the good old IBM PC/2s) that also supports up to 2 360mm Rads and 2 reservoirs?

Trying to build a PC using my existing hardware, but changing the case. I have an Asus ROG ZE running the Ryzen 1950X and a GTX 1080 Ti, both water cooled with their own loops in a Thermaltake Tower 900 with 2 200 ml reservoir/pump combos.

The tower 900 is a monster that's taking too much floor space and I want to be able to put the machine on my tabletop. Newegg and Amazon are showing me some options (Sepcifically, the Lian Li PS-O7SX and the CoolerMaster HAF XB EVO), but I don't think they will fit 2 360mm rads with 2 reservoirs and cooling loops.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thermaltake has cases that are just a Tower 900, but smaller (link), still can run dual 360mm rads. Other than that there's some old Raven cases like the one @MEC-777 is modding (but from my quick look into them they don't have good rad support stock), and that's pretty much it other than looking into full custom fab AFAIK.

Technically every PC case can be placed horizontally.

Thanks @Zando Bob. I figured that was the case, but wanted to confirm.

Guess I'm going back to air cooling my graphics card. Honestly the cooling performance is not that bad with the stock coolers (It's the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080Ti FTW3)
