14 DAY TRIAL // Mid-tower cases are the PC enclosures most often used by regular people and gamers, with only the hardcore, multi-GPU setup lovers insisting on full towers. That's why so much effort can be put in refining a single chassis, like the new Deepcool Landking.
Then again, it's not like you need a full tower enclosure in order to create multi-video card configurations. That's up to the motherboard more than anything else.
Admittedly, many mid-towers have a hard time with 4-card NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFire video card design choices, owing to having “only” 7 expansion slots.
The new Deepcool Landking, however, has eight of them, so you'll be able to install four NVIDIA or AMD video boards readily enough.
The Deepcool Landking ATX mid-tower case
Featuring three 5.25-inch exposed drive bays and five 3.5-inch internal bays, the newcomer measures 512 x 218 x 515 mm / 20.15 x 8.58 x 20.27 inches.
The five 3.5-inch bays can easily enough hold 2.5-inch drives as well if the situation calls for it. Makes it easy to use solid state drives and mini HDDs.
The maximum graphics card length isn't the best, at 280 mm / 11 inches, so you probably won't be able to use those huge dual-GPU beasts from AMD or NVIDIA.
But the other cards should fit well enough, and you wouldn't be able to arrange quad-card SLI/CrossFire with those monsters anyway.
Since they're each a dual-GPU setup themselves, the AMD Radeon R9 295 X2 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan-Z can only work in pairs (2 + 2 GPUs basically). But we digress.
The newcomer also has a width sufficient for coolers of up to 165 mm / 6.5 inches in height. Add to that the four pre-installed fans ( 1 x 120mm LED fan at the back, one at the front without LED, two 120 mm fans at the top or 140 mm large ones) and even the best hardware will work comfortably.
If you want water cooling, that's okay too, although you'll be limited to a 120mm liquid cooler installation at the rear side only. Then again, those top fans could be swapped for a radiator too.
Other features include a SATA drive dock (USB 3.0 and HDA jacks are also included in the same I/O panel) and a bottom-mounted PSU bay.
