Hi buddy,

 

2 questions:

 

1. Why do you want to stack them?

2. What are you wanting to do with the PCs (what kinda hardware do you want in them)

 

Silverstone do a range of oldskool desktop cases that are ATX. GD09's I think. Not sure what their GPU compatibility is like so you might struggle if you want these to be gaming computers but just a thought.

 

If you need space for high-end hardware then I would recommend 'cube' cases. CoolerMaster have an interesting modular range called the Qube 500. Maybe Fractal is worth a look. My NAS/Server is in a Node 804 but that's uATX. Not sure if they do a bigger ATX version.

 

Alternatively, look at dual compartment cases like the Lian Li o11, Hyte Y60/40 or Corsair 680x as they all have a fat footprint rather than being tall and skinny.

How many cases to you need / want to stack?

 

If its only 2 then why not look at cases that support 2 PCs.

 

While probably overkill, look at Thermaltake's W200. I suspect there will be cheaper options on the market but as you can see, there are cases that have room for 2 x everything.

that whouldnt be an option as there are 4 sytems

What about the ModFree modular cases? That would cost a lot for 4 but they appear to meet your needs....?

it be iffy staking 4 case on top each other. if you staked sideways you need case with sold side pannal.

posably can stack 4 Cooler Master HAF XB EVO

you could stack 2 Thermaltake Core W200 case.

Fractal Design Meshify C stacked on the side.

The case is designed like a skyscraper in essence. The panels are decoration and won't help bear weight judging by the photos, videos and reviews, except for maybe between the cases.  I can say that there's a great chance this car can stack four high or wide without intervening panels, however, if the cases can interlock, which seems highly likely given that the entire concept is to be able to add on as many modules as is desired. 

 

My only big concerns with 4 stacked vertically are that there's no stabilizing base and the heat will tend to rise unless the fans are able to pull most of it out. Even then, though, the top one is going to be the hottest, especially if stacked horizontally...

 

Stacking non-interlocking cases is going to be even worse.

That's a good idea. Why 4 high? Horizontal or vertical? If you don't use interlocking cases, you should have at least two opposing corners locked into place with L metal bars.

stacking a case on the side is fine just might scratch the side. thats why i said non tg side so it dose not brake.

side stacking would give you all the air anyways no blocking fans off.

server case would be better but they cost alot... a server rack build would be the best thow

 

Thermaltake Core W200 case dose lock to each other with 4 screws.  and it be wide so it wont be to tipsy.
