Thermaltake CAPO X Featured Build – Two Systems, One Case!

Today we’re checking out the Thermaltake CAPO X, a rather unusual Micro-ATX case designed to house two complete systems in a single chassis. CAPO X supports up to two Micro-ATX motherboards, including back-connect designs. Each system gets its own independent I/O panel, while the stacked design keeps both systems together in a relatively compact footprint. It could be useful for sharing a desk with two separate gaming systems, running gaming and streaming on dedicated hardware, or just for keeping specific workloads isolated to a second system. So, let’s take a closer look at the CAPO X, see what our dual-system build looks like.
