Will flat PC cases ever make a comeback?

maybe idk

lmaoing at your life

They are worse than towers in every aspect.

Have you heard of a server?

Have you tried buying them? That checkmate case is really nice and I would make a build from one if i didn't already have a working Haswell machine.
If there's no market

you can get HTPC cases.

you can also get DIY rackmount cases.

Flat PCs don't really make a lot of sense, because desktop motherboards are optimized for cubes.
To make a desktop flatter, you need riser cables or similar.

I guess mITX motherboards like that could work. Maybe you'll be forced to resort to liquid cooling for high end applications.

They'd be great for mounting under a desk.

The issue with 1U rackmounts is that they're universally passively cooled delta fan affairs.
Also they tend to lean towards E-ATX motherboards and so they're fuckhuge

they already have

How are either of those problems?

2U cases have 80mm fans, you can easily cool a low-power system with those pretty quietly

they're not problems if you put your computer in a closet and access them over a very long HDMI and USB connection
but most people don't do that
rackmount servers tend to not fit on desks

itoys don't count

The thread is about actual PC's.

speaking of memes, did you see the new one? they made it into cube so it is no more flat, you lose

Better not put a monitor on top of it.

Then go with a 2U and custom water cooling loop if you care about height that much or just get a 3U.

>get filtered by x86 because you can't into heatsinks
>switch to mobile phone toy architecture
APPLE BTFO

>have to gpu on a riser
>hard limits on cpu cooler height
no theyre at best a meme like SFF

Ask the GPU gayming overlords

Lmao this incel seething is unreal xd
