This expands on Thermaltake's idea of building the Core X9 as a stackable computer case/system, which is great! Here's my idea to expand on that:
Take 1 Thermaltake Core X9 computer case.
That 3 more of the same case so that they are seated as follows
XX
XX
Take the side panels off of all of the sides of all four cases.
In the bottom 2 cases, build Z170A setup into each bottom case.
In the top two cases build out a complete custom loop liquid cooling system that
spans across the top two cases and operates down into the below two builds.
Now you have a computer build that is roughly three to four feet wide by about three to four
feet tall by about a foot and a half deep, and runs two completely separate computer systems built into a single build.
Add lighting and or case fan cooling and what not, then replace the outward facing side panels of the four computer cases,
obviously leaving the interior side panels opened.
Ensure that your build is perhaps sitting on something mobile because taking apart this build is going to take considerable time
and carrying the build will be basically impossible.
| = side panel
|XX|
|XX|
If you wanted to get really fun with this, you could design the casings to look like one of those old room sized punch card computers from the 1800s (there's a joke for some old people) while looking at the inside you find nothing but modern day computing power at it's most powerful performance.
Interior:
The interior's liquid cooling system from both sides would come down and twist in a kind of tornado like fashion as it spread across both builds below and would contain the reservoirs at the top two cases of the build. Equipped with nothing but M.2 Drives, USB 3.1, and Z170A computing power. I would include the newest GTX 1080 GPUs and Corsair AX1500i's one for each system.
Immediate questions I can think of:
Q.1 Would the pumps for the liquid cooling have enough power to pump that distance or is that even a factor? I don't know enough about custom liquid cooling to be able to determine that.
If I were going to compete in a competition level computer building showcase for unique design I would probably complete and enter this for the competition. So, there's the wind-up and the pitch, now...
Hit me with the flaws! Is there anything wrong with the idea of this build?
