See the worst thing is. I have a aquatium that has the back and one side blocked (filter ans background) and ever since I have never ever looked at these the same 😛

 

Would not be surprised that someone had a a fluval spec or something on their desk and was like ayo this would be a sick case and thus the o11 was born

I do prefer the look of the fishtank cases, but space would be an issue for me as they are much thicker than normal ATX cases

Oh yes they are stupidly inneficient space wise. Very fun to show off.

 

However if ya want glass glass get a thermaltake view 71 :p. Also a built in workout!

 

Surprisingly good airflow simply because the gaps are so big and its so stupid tall

Airflow looks a bit restrictive, what are the temps like?

Oh its entire front is mesh btw. The z plastic is very extended and hollow with venting on the sides

 

Keepnin mind the 5.25 inch bays are also just mesh.

 

My 3900x with a ak400 is running at about 70c 100% load and the 3090 fe (thermal pads replaced) in it is at like 63c because of the side ventilation.

 

Runs cool and quiet really.

 

The fans in it are just random replacement ones and a single still working original blue led one hanging on for dear life moving almost no air! 😛

 

Edit:

 

Aha I see they reused the name

TBH, you could probably just make one from some plexi. All you'd need is a utility knife, ruler, marker, and a tapping kit, though a drill and hacksaw would be helpful for the cutouts
