Im looking for a new case for a new system im puting togeather for a freind. I want a very big case, the bigger the better. Doesnt really have to look good, and i want it for around 60-70$. Ive been looking around with no real luck. Ive found some around that price, but you have to pay shipping at the site witch brings it up to around 100, so if someone could give me a link to something that fits the description, i would have much grattitude. Thanks.

The cheaper, the bigger, the better.

Ok, it looks like im about to get this one, but will there be enough room for a IC7?


Interior Qualities :

Motherboard Clearance : 9"



Will that be plenty of room?

Weird but cool case that Maxtop.
But for that money, a Chieftec/Chenming would be better and easier to use.

Ugly bugger though....
It will need some sexy mods to make it look nice.

If your In the UK I have a YYcube and a hugh server case for sale ATM as I bought a PC-60 and I dont have space in my house for any huge cases (the tower is in my car boot as its the only space I have left LOL)

Nah, im not much on the Cube cases, this one will be fine with the prommy and im guna be adding a watter chiller in a few weeks for my 9800. I saw someone bolt 2 togeather and he had all his cooling in one side, and all the parts on the other. Seemed to work well. That would have to be heavy though. Well over 100lb.

I got that case in my basement... works good as a file server. And i bet you could fit a big arse h20 cooling system in it. Im fitting 2 mobos 2 psu, 2 processors and a hole bunch of hd's in it atm. Preety much 2 comps in 1 case:bananal:

Didn't think you could get the prommi head to go down that far... always thought with a prommi you had to go up from below... (?)

The prommy is guna be comming from below. I said "up top" by mistake. Thats how i plan to mount the water cooling unit im getting in this week.

You could really fit 2 mobos inside? Did you have any problems with the space?

yah i got the 2 mobos inside there. I had to remove 1 hd bay but that was no prob... Theres not much space btw the two for good airflow. But all the comp does is sit there and hold files and mabye act as a ftp.:stick:
