Hi, all

Has anyone tried stacking two node 304 cases, one on top of the other?

I need to use two computers concurrently. Due to lack of space, I wonder if I can put a second node 304 atop the existing one.

Both will be air-cooled. Neither uses any high-powered display card or CPU.

Does anyone foresee any potential problems against the setup? The airflow at the front will be a little inhibited but this does not seem like a big issue.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Going to be easier than stacking them end-to-end. ;-)

Won't be an issue as the node has feet to offer breathing space and you're not putting much heat into each little breadbox.

I can't imagine that it'll be a problem.the front panel intake at the top on the bottom case might be close to the top case, but not so close that it seriously affects airflow. There are two decent fans pulling in air there, after all. Mine is stuck in a pretty tight space (shelf near ny tv), gets all the air it wants.
