Phanteks Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL Dual System Case Cases PH-ES414DS_BK

Would be five stars, but it arrived missing a fan, a cover for the fan hub, one of the cables for the fan hub, and it had a broken latch on one of the dust filters. Normally this would make a bad review, but after replacing the missing/broken stuff (cheaper than returning for replacement) it is a truly great case. It's challenging even with its size to fit two systems inside, but it was fun and the results are impressive.

Exactly what I was looking for. It is kind of a specialty case. But if you need a case to hold two systems, its great. I'm running my everyday/ gaming system on the MATX(bottom machine), and the top ITX machine to run all of my virtual machines on. Highly recommend it. Pros: Easy to build in Good construction Lots of fan locations Good cable management space(especially for having two systems in one case) Lots of storage options and locations. Cons: You have to be careful about the height(off the motherboard) of the GPU you wan to use if you are going to be running a SFX PSU for the ITX system. Think ahead about how you run your fans. If you have them plugged into fan headers, they will only run when that system is on. Think ahead before you start routing you wiring, can get a bit busy with 2 systems of wiring to deal with. I originally ran an old laptop power supply to a fan splitter with fan speed reducers, and a external switch so I could turn my fans on at will. But I have changed it so that all but the top rear fan are running on the matx board(hottest source) and the top rear running on the itx board(doesn't produce that much heat). For me it works good, my itx really doesn't heat up that much and I usually never have just my itx machine running by itself. I have it almost maxed out for fans: x2 140mm front, x1 140mm bottom, x1 120mm rear, x2 120mm up top. FYI: If you have a SFX power supply in the bottom to run the itx board and have the hard drive cages in place, you can only have one fan on the bottom. I have a 140mm down there, basically just to push air to my GPU and the SFX PSU.

beautiful works great/ wish mini itx motherboard tray was cut out for fans up top, with the power buttons etc for the 2nd motherboard were integrated into case instead of requiring a 5.25" bay
