Thermaltake CAPO X lets users build two PCs in one case
For years, PC users have asked when PC 2 is coming. Thermaltake may have just answered that question at Computex, although not in the way anyone expected.
The company showcased CAPO X, a tall tower case built for two separate microATX systems. This is not a new platform, a new standard or a new version of the PC. It is simply one case with enough room for two PCs, which is close enough for the joke.
You can fit two Micro-ATX systems into one case
Thermaltake says the CAPO X is a dual-system Micro-ATX chassis for parallel workflows, AI applications and multitasking. In practice, this means two motherboards, two sets of components and two independent systems inside one tower.

Unlike older dual-system cases, this design does not pair a large ATX system with a smaller Mini-ITX board. Both systems use microATX motherboards in a normal tower layout. Both also appear to have similar room for graphics cards and cooling hardware.
At Computex, Thermaltake showed one white build with two high-end RTX 50-series graphics cards and two 360 mm AIO coolers. Another black build used a full custom liquid-cooling setup with two independent loops, reservoirs, radiators and blocks.

The result is not smaller than a normal PC. It is just taller and more committed to the idea. For streamers, local AI users or anyone who has ever wanted two gaming PCs without buying two cases, CAPO X makes sense. Just wondering which two graphics cards would I put in each system.
