Looks good!!
just sent a pm, i did read all the thread in a few...you're going to be my favourite designer...after pininfarina;):D
been following this for a while on a different forum, thought id pop in here and say it again.. best tower case design i have ever seen :)
Here's what we do.... get about a dozen of us to go in on this together and all buy this case. It's cheaper by the dozen, I would think.
Make it out of THICK aluminum. Anodize it or plate it. Build up some really nice systems.
Just need to make sure that EVERYTHING for the system has a place and that there is no wasted space or things that are overlooked. It might be a good idea to make a prototype and try out where everything would go, just to be sure. Sometimes things that look good in CAD have flaws that show up in the prototype or the C build. Smart move to ask for feedback on your design on the forums, btw.
Alternately, you could sell the design for $10 each or whatever and let us find our own manufacturer for the case. Looks like a lot of fun, clever how you have separate zones for each of two large radiators with room for both push and pull fans.
I'm new to water cooling, still planning out my very first build, probably for next summer when gulftown and fermi are out.
a piece of ART...
Thanks Dimas...:DQuote:

What do you think of my "water cooling" case design?
:p:
Have you tried smaller design ?
for the harddrive cage you should make the mounting holes a square so someone can either mount it forward facing or sideways.... simple
If you were to read the thread in its entirety, you would know it is already like that.....:p:Quote:

I would love to be able to build this, too. Any chance you'd share the detailed 2D drawings with me and let me give it a shot?Quote:

Also, wheels.
Otherwise nobody but Arnold Schwarzenegger will be able to move it
6? It can hold up to ten 3.5" drives or up to forty 2.5" drives, if thats what you want? :shrug:Quote:

The Lian-Li V2000 is probably a great deal smaller and holds 12 drives. I'm just saying, considering the leviathan nature of this case it seems rather quirky for it to only support 10 3.5" drives.
It all depends what you want from a case. I designed this case primarily for liquid cooling. If you want a case that holds many HDD's or multiple optical drives, then this wouldn't be the case for you. However, I could design HDD racks that hold more drives, more tightly packed. Like you say, with the amount of room available, it would probably be possible to hold about twenty.....Quote:

Looking at it, why exactly is there a lower 5.25" rack and then an upper?
Why not replace the lower 5.25" with more HDD racks and leave the upper?
Most people dont use 5.25" reservoirs, and I cant think of any use for more than two 5.25" bays
Get it into production and kick the case manufacturers backsides.
I haven't been around for a while, but it is nice to see that you are
still working on it Mick.
It looks terrific. Be great if this got manufactured in the near future.
@mick64 Awesome Project Looks Like 30% Black Pearl
C'mon Mick, let's build it!
how much would estimated cost currently be? i might be interested i starting to build something like this...what if we could simplify the design a little by building it around a frame made from square aluminum tubing and having that rather than bending that aluminum into the frame???
can you show or explain how you are attaching the mesh and window to the side panel?
thanks!
im guessing either 3m 4010 double sided tape or countersunk screws... its really up to you i guess...
Would this case hold the new EVGA dual socket LGA-1366 motherboard? XL-EATX form factor. If so, I would definitely buy it.
