Conclusion

Without the shadow of a doubt, the S8S is an absolute high-end case. Since this case is completely customizable the possible configurations are sheer endless and you’ll therefore be able to create the perfect case for your needs. Apparently the industrial design of this case is a matter of personal preference. When it comes to build quality there is absolutely nothing anyone could complain about since this case is just perfect. The only thing we couldn’t find on the features list are dust filters. It would be great if Case Labs could come up with a solution for this, since this way it doesn’t take a long time and there will be dust visible on the inside of your high-end rig. Apart from that it takes six weeks until you have your Case Labs case at home which is a pretty long time.

Nevertheless we’re very impressed by this case and these days we wouldn’t change it for anything else. The possibilities and the compatibility towards custom water cooling gear are simply on another level comparing this case to high-end offerings from other vendors. Next to custom water cooling loops you could also build an insane file server.

If you’re looking for an absolute high-end case, which you can configure individually matching your very needs, then we don’t just recommend the Mercury S8S we’ve reviewed here but the entire line-up of cases from Case Labs. Apparently this much high-end comes at quite a price and a nicely equipped S8 or S8S case quickly accounts for 500 US-Dollar. Apart from that it takes a rather long time until you have this case at your place. Nevertheless it’s worth waiting for this case and we rate it with 5 out of 5 stars.
