What does /g/ think about dual chamber PC cases? Ever put one together and have any thoughts on it?
>>
So everything that's not a card goes on the opposite side?
>>
>>59518415
motherboard on one side

everything else is on other and hidden
>>
>>59518143
those fans need to be cooling the GPU and CPU not the HDDs and RAM

the fans actually are part of the main chamber and the intake goes from the right front side.

They are alright, easy to build into but a lot of wasted space unless you packed it with GPUS and HDDS
>>
>>59518143
Easy to make a clean looking build if you can't be arsed to cable manage properly. Just stuff all the cables in the back out of sight.

Best dual chamber cases are CaseLabs

I use an Air 540. It's not exactly "premium" like the FT02 I used to own, but it is by the far the easiest case design I've ever worked with.

Dual chamber cases are idiot proof and make cable routing the easiest fucking thing in the world.

Corsair got the idiot market on lockdown

Got one of these for my wife. Literally the easiest build I have ever done.

I love the concept, but there is not a single dual chamber case on the market that meets my needs.
A lot of them come close but always miss a crucial feature or implement a feature poorly.
I have been truly disappointed with the case market in theast few years. Can never find something that ticks every box.
I know i am picky, but contextually i believe that to be fine. I want a case that i have to buy exactly once and never consider changing.
Shame how stagnant the market has become. Everything RGB...why???

>Mfw a Caselabs Merlin would fill all my requirements.
I can't justify $600 for a case when there's more important stuff to buy. I guess this Antec 1200 V1 will have to do.

>case labs
Overpriced hackjob cases. If they actually looked like their promo pictures it'd be ok but still bad designs.

Can't be worse than a Mountain Mods
Which looked like shit in the pictures and in real life unless its 2003.
>>
>>59522207
I've never been that big a fan of the acrylic cases. But Danger Den had the only ones I'd consider buying.
>>
>>59522174
I've looked at a lot of build logs using Caselabs and it looks pretty much how it does on their website.
>>
>>59522252
The big problem with caselabs is the stock case is meh and you pay extra to actually fit radiators in. Common for panels to not fit flush or level.
>>
>>59522299
True, the $400 base price rapidly becomes $600 when you pick out what you want.
Sure is aesthetic though.
>>
>>59522318
Like 5 years ago I would had agree. They're dated now. Like all cases that use that design.

Well the current trend now is pieces of modern art masquerading as computers. Screw LEDs and tempered glass give me steel and aluminum.
True aesthetics is timeless.
>>
>>59522355
I like the Lian li glass cases. Most of them are bad.

>True aesthetics is timeless.
Unlike aesthetics that have optical drive bay covers.

Honestly no point, a case like this does all the management without being fuckhuge.
>>
>>59518143
They would have been awesome if they were a thing back in the 2000s when having lots of HDDs was very common. Nowadays though the second chamber just gets unused.

Having a case where the second chamber is used exclusively for the GPU and the other chamber for the mobo would be cool though. Too bad PCIe extenders are expensive.
>>
>>59522369
Why wouldn't you have the whole front be fans
for your massive radiators.
Or a massive amount of hot swap bays
>>
>>59522508
It's an option. Top and bottom mount radiators are what I prefer.
>>
>>59522520
True top mount is the best

Speaking of hot swap bays you have any recommendations for a two 5.25 slot model for three 3.5 drives
I got a gap to fill in my case since I had to go back to aircooling
>>
>>59522535
No idea. Not something I look for.
