You mean fit as is. Like without any modding? Or has the dimensions capable of holding all the stuff?

By the way, that Ultra case is a mid-tower. I don't think you want to go with that.

You would have to get the Thermaltake Armour and stick that radiator in the bottom of the case. Not sure if the drive bays at the bottom would block anything. If so, then cut them up. I'm also not sure if it would block any PCI slots on your motherboard. If you want to stick it in the top, then you would have to take out that hard drive cage in the back and rotate how the PSU mounts. You also would not be able to use the top external 5.25 drive bays. The pumps and reservoir pose no problem.

If there ever was a case to fit all of that, it would most likely have to be the TT Armor. I would say, that your one main concern is the quad radiator.

Get Google Sketchup and get the dimensions of everything you are planning to put into this case. Create a rough 3D sketch and that should give you a decent idea as to where you might have concerns.

Btw, the TT Armor is actually a tad bit wider than most other cases. It's probably one of the most roomiest cases out there as far as I know.

You could just go to your local industry computer supplier and buy a server enclosure to hold all that.

Ultra Black Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side, Front USB, Firewire and Audio Ports looks cheap and tacky, steer clear!

just to make clear this would hold a asus striker mobo right? the fact that it says AMD quad core just means it can hold it too right?
looking at the front of the case it looks like you could put 9, 5 1/2" drives or 9 3.5 floppys? Whats with the tray at the very bottem just to put cables and stuff?

thx for helping
+ rep's for helping

Yes, it can hold the Asus Striker Extreme motherboard.

No, it cannot hold two motherboards. When it refers to AMD's quad core, which right now, they only have a thing called "4x4" or Quad FX, they mean 1 motherboard with 2 CPU sockets.

You can put whatever you want in the tray at the bottom. You can even take it out if you don't find it useful.

Ive heard good things about the armor.
Some of the bigger full tower cases (and older)
Can hold two psu's (how do you type that)

Those are usually server cases that have dual psu's (one main, one backup)
