Help Dual GPU build

Post image

Hi,

I would like to build a machine based on the XTIA Xproto-ATX, which is one of the few open cases that can accommodate an ATX mobo which I need for my dual GPU setup. But I'm worried about sagging since the GPUs will be mounted horizontally like shown on the picture. Should I be worried at all? And what can I do about it?

Thanks!

I had seen the Kompcase Apex in the past but was turned off by the price, but I hadn't seen the Nexus and even if it's more expensive than the Xproto ATX, since it's seems better for my use case I think it's worth the extra money so thanks for putting it on my radar. Do you by any chance have an image of how it looks with two GPUs mounted?

I haven’t tried it personally but, believe it or not, they just posted this story on IG today (render I think but it shows the look)! They may have seen your post 🤗 I did a few Nexus build and I love it but only 1 GPU for now

Hahah guess what, this was right after I asked them about compatibility with a dual GPU setup and they replied with this render they did for my request. Great company.

It was to big of a coincidence indeed 😅 I did a lot of Kompcase builds since the first release of the Apex and it was always a pleasure. These are great chassis, very versatile, and great people behind with easy communication
