    Default Anyone know of any MASSIVE cases?

    Just for ****s and giggles, say I had a board that was 12x16 (in other words, larger than EATX/HPTX) and I needed a case to put it in with a power supply and watercooling. Anyone got any ideas at all? it's longer than tall, and the cards are at the top, not the bottom, as well. I understand I'm gonna be doing fab, it's how much total I need to do.

    Hmmm, I can't seem to find it but there was a post about it here on the forums simply because of how absolutely massive the case was. I mean it was FREAKING HUGE. I can't seem to be able to find it though.

    My server sits in a Lian Li 343B - I think mountain mods cubes are SLIGHTLY bigger but I think its about the biggest mainstream retail case out there - course there's always Thermatakes Mozart TX which is a monster too if you can find one that is...

    Take a look at the Silverstone TJ11. We saw one at CES and WOW.
    “Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible, and when I leave you will finally understand why storms are named after people.”

    I seem to remember that Zalman case we saw in the iBuyPower booth being quite large as well. Anyone remember the model number?

    I worked on a TJ07 and was seriously disappointed. No screw holes lined up, parts were poorly made, sharp edges everywhere. Their steel cases are actually better.

    It's really sad that the case will cost more than the board, and possibly board+procs. All four.

    Well, unless you can find the server case that was originally made for it, I'm guessing you'll probably end up having to fab a custom MBB tray at the very least. Then you'll probably also have to fab a custom IO/PCI panel as well, since they're the reverse of normal... I think you're probably better off getting a Mountain Mods or DD case as a start if you don't want to do a full custom build. Plenty of space, and no need to worry about having to make strange modifications to fit a part in.
    That we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.

    just to add on to what x88x said. DD and mountain mods both could make you a custom i/o shield if you give them the dimensions.

    I always thought the 800D was pretty damn big. There's a lot of Huge Lian Li's too
