3 Pc's in Server Rack

[ggAsuna]

So, I'm planning to build a new pc at the end of 2020.
And I need some help.

I have been following LTT for years, but never really contibuted to the forums.

I want to make a new pc inside a server rack.
As in, a big server case inside the server rack.
And I want to do the same with my old pc, as a streaming pc.
I also want to use an AIO for both pc's, for the cpu.

I kinda like the idea of multiple pc's in a server rack, all clean, and stacked.
Then add my audio equipment thats already 2u and 1u size + add future network stuff.
And then another plan for the future is a 2nd pc for someone else, as a 3rd pc in the case.

I know how to build a pc, so that won't be an issue

So, a server rack feels perfect.

Now my issue is finding the right Server/PC case for the server rack that is decent on airflow, and allows for an AIO inside and normal pc parts (ATX mobo, ATX psu, etc)

Anyone with suggestions

Thanks in advance,
Asuna


Add:
Plan is to build a Ryzen 9 3950x system or a Ryzen 4000 series cpu.
So plans are for a high end system

Don't use AIO, if it fails you won't notice it.

I'm guessing you won't need aesthetics in a rack, air cooler is better.

 

Look up for 4U Atx case.

would a 4U ATX case be big enough for something like a Noctua cooler tho?

[SupaKomputa]

4U is about the same width of a regular atx case. So i think it should fit.

Unless you have a way to monitor the loop inside of the rack I would go air.

Look this rack mount up. It has two front air spaces, probably as good as your going to get

 

SilverStone Technology 4U Rackmount Server Chassis with 3 X 5.25 Front Bays with CEB/ATX/mATX/Mitx Support RM400 Cases SST-RM400

so something I didn't think about.

I found a case thats perfect for what I want
But, it has no power button!

Any alternatives to turn on the pc once it's been built (apart from shortening the 2 pins)?
