Lian Li V series
correction: V2XXX series ;)
imo a 'big' case consists of: E-ATX mobo & min. 6 HDD :yepp: ....
CM stacker
TT armor
LL V2XXX
LL 343B (not E-ATX mobo :( )
to name just a few
LL has plenty more other series/models that are 'big' (by my lil definition)

Rocketfish case.
You can still find these on ebay for $100. Nice cheap lian-li case that was re-branded. :up:
Good for liquid cooling. Not the best air flow though.

Coolermaster Stacker STC-T01 (the original Stacker). When I opened the sidepanel on one of these I thaught it was an aircraft hangar :). For those with a really tight budget that want a big case the Akasa Infiniti and Infiniti ZOR cases fit the bill.

Reminds me of Windy cases. Connection between the two? I mean both are located in Japan. I know getting a Windy in the US is impossible unless you get someone over there to purchase and ship one to you (requires a Japanese address and several months, even a year, to get the case). Don't know anything about Abee though. Hopefully they sell to the US.

That giant tower case is not a single block.
It is a Abee M3(AS enclosure M3) case with M3 5.25 extension (top) and M3 HDD extension(bottom) kit.

HAF have more the 7 expansion slots ?
I'm going to hassle the HAF lol jk
Thremaltake Xaser is big nice mother board tray too.
Xilco 1000 unless you have to hate it for looking like a traffic light.
the Canyon 695 case on newegg is a really a Lian LI
the techpower link looks like a modified sever case, nice look to it though.
the cases with more then 7 expansion slots never go below $200 lol
that's about all of the ones I know.

I've gotten a couple full tower cases from here (http://www.dark-circuit.com/directron/sorteditems/fullalla.php) (Directron.com).
Good site and trustworthy IMHO. I've bought from there on several occasions and have never had an issue. I rank it right around newegg as for trustworthyness, if not better.

I have a Stacker 810. Has a few quirks but overall a great case. No way I could go back to a mid-tower.

You cannot except MM when talking about BIG cases. They are the very definition of BIG. THE biggest in fact. I have an Extended Ascension and it was the best buy I have ever made. I will never have to buy another case. I will own that case as long as the ATX standard is around, and even when they change standards I will have this case fitted for the new standard. I will never need another case. If I need bigger I will add on a pedestool or another Extended Ascension and stack them.
It's a big honkin' case with thick laswer cut metal and has the best Acryllic windows I have ever seen. They have XS written all over them. They are literally designed for the Xtreme. I've owned Lian Li Towers, but after getting the largest of the MM's even the largest Lian Li Tower looks like an infant in comparison. :D

Gigabyte 3d aurora 570. BIG!
That is a penny size case :rofl: in this thread :ROTF:
imo a 'big' case consists of: E-ATX mobo & min. 6 HDD :yepp: ....E-ATX requirements is definitely one of the most important requirements because it tells directly that even longest graphic cards fit without need to shoehorn them in and they don't block access to anything.
Also five usable 5.25" bays is minimum.
And HDDs should be spaced loosely instead of "sardines in can" design for allowing good cooling of them and you should be able to access (install/remove) them without dismantling half of the case. (+lowish impedance airflow through HDD cage/rack)
Same direct access to any component after opening case requirement should be applied also to other components.

I was finally able to find a local store that actually had the CM ATCS 840 in stock so I could actually see it in real life . . . and it is HUGE!!! Not only is it tall (top to bottom) and deep (front to back) but it is also the widest (side to side) cases I've ever seen. It's not a bad case but I was not floored by it; I'd stick with either Silverstone or Lian Li for their better overall build quality. I do really like the big fans on the ATCS 840 though - it should be quieter than most cases I'd imagine.

You're probably right - but the 840 is A LOT better looking and should be quieter.
I had a Stacker 830 and 832 a year or two ago but quickly grow out of them. Huge, spaceship looking case gave way to a more refined TJ09. I've now got a LL PC-X500 on the way but don't know how that one's going to work out; seems too small/cramped for all of my drives.

Yes, I have a Stacker 810 as well. This thing is huge. I can fit an E-ATX board in here with two power supplies, and then plenty of room for up to 11-12 5.25" drives.

Yeah, the 830-series can be a little over the top for some, that's why I like the 810's. The 840 goes the other direction - too plain and 'conservative' looking for me.
