Stacking multiple cases?

[Potato Joe]

Let's say hypothetically I had two Dark Base pro 900 cases. Could I stack one on top of the other, mount them with screws and plates of some sort, use the bottom one to house the actual PC components, and then use every possible fan mount in the top one for radiator space?

Its just a box, sure.
You'll have to cut access holes for all the wiring, and get cable extenders for the fan wiring.

In theory, yes, possible.
In practice, your cooling will not get big benefit. Reasons for that is mostly that even with separate case, you cannot lower the ambient temperature that comes to radiator that much. Yes, top case might be few degrees cooler due to lacking GPU and such but.. 100% of that temperature difference does NOT translate to cooling liquid, so you would look at 1 to 3 degrees lower temperature at best (on CPU/GPU depending on which the radiators work for)

Is that 1 to 3 degrees big enough difference for such a massive effort? your choice. You would also need to customize the loops to get radiators that far and longer pipes will lower their efficiency too.

Why don't just use the "Window" side to mount some fans?
