Hay ppl,
From today i am starting to build a new case. ive looked all over the net and cant find anythink i like or is to small for what i want to put in it.

BUT i might of made it a bit to big:shrug::shrug::shrug:

this thing is W-500 L-500 H-650

the little door you see in the picture is for x2 360mm rad's, and this will be for both sides

let me know what you think :down: :up: :shrug:

Ok structural support frame is done so what are you going to do next? What material do you plan on using for the panels?

hehe its only 2 feet tall:rofl:

making your own case is the best thing you can do if you don't like the options in the market, plus you can be original

how many loops do you think on doing? cause that thing could fit a loop for everysingle block you put in it :up:

aluminum and acrylic panels, light weight construction, plus some casters...
horizontal motherboard tray seems to be in these days, as full cover gpu water blocks x2 or x3 tends to be too heavy...

making your own case is also cheaper by some...

the only time a like a big case is to fit water cooling stuff in it and not looking like you just crammed everthing to fit inside...
you can probably fit in 2 480gtx radiators and 2 RD30s with their PSUs...

more pics required though... hehehe keep them coming...

Im going to have 2 loops in it, one for cpu and mb, and one for gpu (x2 9800 gx2) so both loops with have x2 ThermoChill PA120.3 both sides.

the case will be in 3 tiers, top tier will be mb witch will be laying flat, middle tier will be power x1 thermaltake 1500w and thermaltake 750w.

bottom tier will have x4 ThermoChill PA120.3, x2 12V Laing D5 Vario, x2 500ml reservoirs and x20 120mm fans

doing some more today on it will post more pic's

Nice love to see custom cases. What did you make the frame out of, and how are your attaching it together (I saw some kind of welder)?

how are you thinking to attach the side panels on the chase? this always bugs me when i see a cube case with a frame... i just can't get my head around it.

attaching panels to case with screws if removable or pop some rivets for more permanent fixed...

panels like front and back and bottom, rivets permanently fixed to the frame..
side and top panels are semi removeable, so use some thumbscrews/screws so you can easily thinker with stuff inside...

Nice work! I wish I had a welder, that would have made my build a little cleaner. Looking forward to see this done!
