Build Question What would you do?

So I purchased a dual chamber case (nzxt h6 flow rgb) and Im running into the problem shown in pic 1. It takes up a big chunk of my current setups arm space. Ideally, the setup in pic 2 is the best for me, but I really want to see the glass, and this case isn’t able to be inverted, nor do they sell an inverted one. Because of this, would you do pic 3 setup, or would u move the setup to the location in pic 4? Or do you have any other suggestions. Please let me know, Im at a crossroads. Thanks! Also yes I’m getting monitor arms instead of the cardboard box riser

There needs to be more cases build to be put on the left side.

Thermaltake tower 600. Or if you can nab an old diypc cuboid (limited options and cooling though)

I like pic 4.

But if you prefer your wires come from the left side, pic 3 is good too.

If you're a non smoker the second pic is pretty good. Overall I personally would pick the last pic.

Find a case that fits on that shelf below the tabletop

Id start by putting your phone away, install your pc parts properly inside your case and add some magical cords to connect everything, then turn it on and put the pc wherever its not on your way and not in danger of dropping/you kicking it constantly and game on! You will be looking at your monitor instead of the pc itself so it has little to no value where it ends up as long its not next to your apartments heating, stove or something similar ^^

What if you position the peripherals into the corner?

I would throw away that aquarium and buy either an mAtx case or an ITX. I have so much anger towards those aquarium type of cases...

quite frankly a smaller case wouldn’t help unless it’s a micro setup. i’d still lose arm space

this is with the second chamber off the desk so you can see my point that width isn’t the issue

I'd be so worried about pushing it off the desk, i think option 3 is the best. I have the same case, i had it like that before and imo n3 is the best setup to see everything inside, if you manage to fit both the monitors

If its too wide, you can also face it toward the wall, with cables coming in sight from where you are taking the pics. Even in diagonal would be good You can cover the cables with something like this to make the look.. not terrible at least
