The Y2 Fish Tank Chassis measures 370×250×290mm. Its total volume is 27 liters, approximately 13 of which are reserved for the aquarium for fish. The wall thickness of the aquarium is 5 mm. The package includes a filter powered by a USB connector. For the inhabitants of the aquarium, the manufacturer also provided for the presence of a backlight that can be controlled using the remote control and turned off. The computer component compartment has its own RGB lighting. It is out of sync with the aquarium part.

The manufacturer does not say anything about how the aquarium affects (and does) the cooling of the PC. But it is very likely that when using not very effective cooling of computer components from below, the upper inhabitants may at some point become quite warm.

The Y2 Fish Tank Chassis allows you to install Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. Its design uses 1.5 mm aluminum alloy walls. Inside there is enough space for installing one 2.5-inch drive, two 90mm cooling fans, and a CPU cooler up to 90mm high. You can also install a video card up to 220 mm long and a compact 1U or FlexATX power supply.

This is not the first aquarium case from MetalFish. Previously, the manufacturer released a model Fish Cube, Mini-ITX format. However, the Y2 Fish Tank Chassis looks more elegant due to its design.

According to Tom’s Hardware, the MetalFish Y2 Fish Tank Chassis is already on sale in China for under $75.
