Hi all,

 

Quick question, as i can't find it.

Is there any site or list that contains computer cases that support 2 systems, like the Anthoo pro II?

 

Having some trouble finding options :D

 

Would love to hear from ya!

As far as i could see it, the Enthoo pro 2 isnt a dual system case.

Have a look here:
https://www.pcguide.com/reviews/best-dual-system-pc-cases/

Or maybe check out the thermaltake core w200.

If your question has been solved, please mark the thread as solved by choosing the answer that has helped you the most as the correct/solving one.

 

Please also use appropriate titles. Titles should be a short description of your situation to get people interested in looking at your thread. Titles such as "help" or "i have a problem" (etc.) will only lead to you getting less to zero help, cause people won't be able to tell what this thread is about and therefore don't bother looking into it.

Woopsy, my bad.. maybe i should look into the specs as well next time. Ive just looked into the pics and to me it didnt look like a dual system case...
but the specs state additional brackets for dual systems, so ye, you are right. sorry.

@Caennanu What's this for? Just curious. 

Simultaneous and harmonious AMD and Intel systems? :D

Whahaha no. Currently i'm planning to upgrade to a 3080 hybrid card, but since i already have a 240 rad in my current case, it cannot fit another 240 rad. So for short term i'm looking for options to house all the parts of my gaming pc. 

 

Longer term, i'm planning to configure my NAS in the same case. Which is currently still a dedicated box.

Thats fine no worries ;) only means you're hoooman.

 

And to give you a reply, i've checked out the W200. 

Its a bit . . . bulky at this point ;) It would perfectly fit the NAS usecase tho. Maybe a good contestant for gaming servers in the future . ..  who knows

I love it. Definitely post here with your conclusion and choice when you decide. 

 

Just as info, I have an NZXT H440 with a 360 rad and 240 rad, and it all fits nicely. Though, my HDD is stuffed away irresponsibly.

 

Airflow and cable management are great though. Lots of space. Case won't handle 2 240 rads and a rack of HDDs/SSDs though 0_0

will do.

 

Yeah i'm currently using an Sharkoon S25-w (there is better and worse times)

It fits my current 240 for cpu and 120 for the 1080 hybrid. But i have no clearance at the top for a rad. i tried placing my current 240 there but i would have to run it without fans. Fans or rad goes over de VRM headspreader and the memory modules, so in essence not enough space :P

This case is ridiculous, but:

You can add as many rads as you could ever need, supports dual systems, and is generally just ridiculous! :D

i could fit one of the RTX 30XX meme's in there! :P

 

In all seriousness tho, i'm looking for an enclosed case. Can't really afford to have this beast near me when i would be streaming :D but it looks really awesome. Idea for a mancave!

OMG I love this case. What a beast! I would certainly consider this case IF I build a new PC in the future. 

Good recommendation!

This is a nice case too. Does it have a removable dust screen in the front?

Also, I attached some pics of my RAD setup if you're curious. I just rebuild my PC a few days ago. Front is GPU rad, it pulls in; top is CPU rad, it blows out. Magnetic dust screen for front of case.

Spoiler

It does have a removable dustfilter yes. But there are many air holes quite large being quite close, so even tho the filter catches stuff, i would most defo recommend having a positive pressure setup. And the clearance to suck the air in is  . ..  not that good.

 

@ the pictures. where'd you hide the pump? :P looks pretty good tho! (p.s. ill stick to AIO's for the time being, don't really have the time i'd like to do and maintain custom)

so, maybe its just me . . .

But . . . anyone have experience with an AIO in one of the larger cases?

Like the enthoo pro / luxe 2. a 240 aio for the cpu fits just fine in the top.

But adding a evga hybrid like i have, doesn't seem to have the reach needed to be mounted somewhere (granted its a 120mm which would fit in rear exhaust, but the 30 series are rumored / confirmed to have 240 rads). Aside of the bottom which is a no go if you want to use that space for an ITX board.

In the second picture, you can see the black top cap of the pump/reservoir behind the bottom fan of the front GPU radiator. It's the lowest point of the loop, but I've still got to put a drain there. Hehe I'm lazy.

These along with the P500A are all the same internal frame, so all of these should be able to hosue a second ITX system in them. 

Lian Li also has the now discontinued PC-D666

So, i 'finished' my list. i'm honestly digging the Define 7 XL, but from what i can tell it won't support a 2nd system. Entho pro / luxe 2 com ein a close 2nd due to price primarily. The other cases really are too large or appear to be too large, since i'm working with AIO's.

 

So i'm geussing the choice is going to be  . . .  the silence of the Define 7 XL vs Dual system support of the Enthoo. . . decisions.

 

Brand Case Price E-ATX ATX M-ATX M-ITX Dual PSU Dual button Size Notes
Thermaltake Core W200 € 500,00 2 2 2 2 Yes Optional Huge Not suited for non CPU AIO, distance to large

Phanteks Enthoo luxe / Pro II € 150,00 1 1 1 2 Optional Yes Super tower PSU that supports 2 systems required to run a 2ndary system
Phanteks Enthoo elite € 900,00 1 1 1 2 Yes Yes Super tower  
Phanteks Enthoo mini XL € 200,00 0 0 1 2 Yes No Mid tower 28cm GPU clearance
Phanteks Evolv X € 200,00 0 1 1 2 No Yes Mid tower 2ndary button located on the back of the case
Caselabs Magnum THW10 ?? 1 1 1 1 Yes Optional Huge Not suited for non CPU AIO, distance to large
Raijintek ENYO € 284,00 1 1 1 1 Yes No Super tower Can't find info to fit 2nd system, open case design
Lian Li 011 XL € 200,00 1 1 1 1 Yes No Super tower Can't find info to fit 2nd system
Phanteks P600S € 135,00 0 1 1 2 No Yes Mid tower 2ndary button located on the back of the case
Fractal Define 7 XL € 175,00 1 1 1 1 No No Super tower Can't find info to fit 2nd system
