Dual PC Case Suggestions

[Lawfullygoodgaming]

Hi looking to build a dual pc in 1 case i do some streaming but ill use the other pc for my media and stuff. need recommendations for a PC case that supports 2 MOBOs ATX and Micro ATX and 2 PSUs. All the ones ive found either dont support 2 PSU's or are like $500 any recommendations?

Unless you're planning on spending 500$ you will have to downgrade the second mobo to ITX.

Also, either way the only affordable way to do it is by using 1 PSU. You can check out my dual system case list if you want https://linustechtips.com/topic/1315082-dual-systempsu-case-lists/?tab=comments#comment-14559080

I actually haven't seen any that support ATX and mATX at once.  That'd be a very sizable box.

 

It's usually dual itx or (m)ATX + ITX support for dual boxes.

I don't think any case exists that supports ATX and mATX, you should just try looking at cases that fit ITX motherboards. Additionally, you don't really need two PSUs unless you're going for stuff in both systems that are huge power hogs

doesn't mountain mods have a case that fits two systems?

edit, missed the 500$ part. Id think you'd be pushing it on the price for a mountain mods case.

yea i mean im not really trying to buy more parts hence the specifications i already have 2 psus and 2 mobos with those specs specified was just trying not to have to have 2 full pc towers taking up space

Oh, okay. Maybe as a solution you could build a small form factor PC. If you're willing to get a new mono and maybe a new cooler, as well as spend $120 USD on a case, I'd personally recommend the SSUPD Meshilicious, and it does have ATX PSU support as well

The Thermaltake Core W200 supports Dual ATX, but its almost the size of 2 cases and is literally 550 USD

yea thats the only one i found so far i guess i can just go buy a cheap small case and hope it doesnt take too much space

1 case 2 pcs is stupid imo (even thoe im building one) its better cheaper to have 2 pcs pulse you get to have 2 different case. you dont really save money unless you get like that phantec case for like $250 even then $2x $100 with good air flow are better imo

 

if the once case saved money and was cheaper i guess it be an option but most duel case cost more then 2 case.

again like i had said before its more about space id rather just have 1 tower to deal with than 2

well gl man

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

AFAIK there is no case with accomodation for two uATX boards, you could fabricate it but that'll be hella expensive and time consuming

[thrasher_565]

looks like the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO is stack able.

Thermaltake Core P3 is stack able.

SilverStone Technology htpc is stack able.

Thermaltake Core G3 ATX is stack able.

probly the 011 can be stacked

 

i no the tt core x5 and x9 were stack able. but they dont sell em any more
