Perfect! All you've got left to do is convincing Cooler Master or Antec to make these [LiLi/Silverstone would be way to expensive >.>]
with the world economy nowdays i think these project won't see the light soon. :S
Case configured for a top mounted PSU.
With a 120.3 rad fitted, there won't be room for a long PSU.
Added some extra holes for cable tubing because of the two possible PSU configurations.
Don't want to get anyone's hopes up too much, but there is a possibility that my design may get off the drawing board!!!

Thought I should provide some specifications....
Case Specifications
100% aluminium construction, designed specifically for water-cooled systems. The case is divided into three sections for installation of two large radiators in the top and bottom with unrestricted air flow. Radiator brackets are provided for installing any 120mm radiator with any fan spacing. Any width radiator up to 70mm can be fitted, with space for 38mm width fans with 38mm shrouds in a push-pull configuration. Holes between the sections are provided for cable and tubing access. The case can be customised in many ways to suit individual requirements.
Dimensions – Height 625mm, Width 230mm, Depth 700mm
Motherboard Tray – ATX, eATX compatible with eight PCI slots. Cut outs for processor back-plate access and easy cable management. Can be fitted in the standard motherboard orientation or inverted motherboard orientation.
5.25” Drive Bays – Up to 5 external bays. 3 full length drive bays and two that can be full length or short (can be used for fan controllers, displays, etc.), depending on radiator requirements.
HDD Drive Racks – Up to 10 HDD’s can be installed and can be mounted transverse or longitudinal, depending on radiator and water-cooling system requirements. A converter rack can be provided for the installation of up to 8 2.5” SSD’s.
PSU – The PSU can be mounted in the top or bottom of the case and can be fitted either way up. A long PSU can be fitted in the bottom section, but you may be restricted to a short PSU in the top, depending on radiator requirements.
Cooling – The motherboard section is ventilated with a 200mm fan at the front of the case and a 140mm fan at the rear.
Side panels – The option of a windowed side panel is available and can be mounted on either side of the case depending on motherboard orientation.
Ports – USB, eSATA, Microphone, Headphone are mounted in a 5.25” modular unit that can be removed or mounted in any of the 5.25” bays. It can also be mounted at the bottom of the case where a 5.25” bay is provided specifically for the port module.
This thing gets prettier everytime I look at it!
Glad you might finally get the case you've worked so long and hard on.
Good luck with getting it fabricated.
Trying colours again.....

I'd still prefer the white version, but tastes differ of course ;)
I want one of these really bad, this case has just about everything I am looking for in case. I hope this somehow gets put into production.
DO WANT!
If and when this goes into production, it'd be great if you could cover the different installation options for components (like the ways you can mount hard drives) and in which cases the various methods would be beneficial.
Dont go into red.
I seem to have gotten into the habit of checking this thread regularly and every time I see it it seems to get better. You have done a great job of taking everyone's comments and making something that already was a great idea and making it even better. I absolutely love the whole minimalist look the case has and that it is about function before looks (even though I love the way it looks). I hope to read some updates in the near future about where I can pick one of these up. Also, have you had the chance to think up any names for the case yet?
can't wait to be able to buy one of these!
Another go at white. Had difficulty rendering a good white for some reason......

Make it fit one of these http://www.raidsonic.de/en/pages/pro..._objectID=4252
will get you 5x3,5" disks in a 3x5,25" hotswap ready :cool:
I would even actually describe this case as 'Sexy'!
The TJ07 is the only cas I know of that comes close to that.
MM is good for watercooling but looks a bit ugly IMO.
Cosmos S (I have one) also looks ugly in it's standard grey colour, it looks pretty cool all black, but lacks WC resources of your design.
Although I would place an order for the black one!
great design
if i were you, i would put the hdd cage on the top or the bottom of the case just like tj 07 does for better cooking for graphic cards.
Would be great to ensure that both compartments can accommodate 140 style radiators for future proofing. As in the height of the compartment is like 155-160mm.
I really hope this idea of yours comes to fruitation, I'd be slapping my money down straight away me thinks
Hi I'm from Russia, there is interest in the manufacture of the shell, do you have drawings of the building? And could you see them off on e-mail?
Sorry for bad english, this are google translatet.
These are origin message on russian.
Добрый день я из России, есть заинтересованность в изготовлении этого корпуса, есть ли у вас чертежи этого корпуса ? И могли бы вы их скинуть на e-mail ?
