Im looking for something big, a server case, in the $300 range. I dont care about drivebays, i just need a lot of space.
What im thinking:
at least 2 psu slots
at least 6 spaces for fans
not a 75lb cube from xoxide
wheels
instead of 1 big area, structure like 2 built together
Thanks if anyone knows where i can find one of these.
When I needed more room...I ended up stacking cases for my WC project. Here's a pic:

i like the 4th and 5th ones, but i was thinking of something black.
cases aren't to hard to paint. I think black would look nice on any of the cases.
cases are uber hard to paint and make it look nice.
have you ordered it yet?
yeah i got both the 4th and 5th ones, theyre in the mail. I might have to stack them on top each other for what im planning.
hmmm
where are you going to store your vapo? On top?
its going inside
Just try to put the weight in your bottom case and it will be stable. I have my pump, rad and large res in my bottom case

I'll throw in my...
Check out Mountain Mods for some nice roomy custom cases...
I'd go with one of those myself...
I love those cases at Mt. Mods! I hope to have one eventually. It was a matter of money for me at the time. I already had 2 $30 cases that used to be folders and were lying empty and unused, so I ended up with a $60 case that did the job instead of a $350 dream case.

Well, I have one... but getting it to you could be a problem...
It's a JMR Electronics Inc 21CS-001. Steel / Zintec plate casing... 21x5.25" Bays, 3x 3.5" Bays, 3x PSU Mounts, 3x120mm BlowHoles.
Only downside is it's an AT Chassis so needs some slight modwork to fit an ATX mobo...

Where the hell did you find that insane blue case!?

S'not blue... it's white.... just a badly lit photo...
Used to work for the company that made em (JMR Electronics)... I was in the middle of programming the pullmax and nishinbo punches to convert em to ATX when they discontinued it... so I only have the AT prototype... They don't make anything anywhere near as nice these days unfortunately, just mass-storage cabinets (http://www.jmr.com/solutions/collate...g15/index.html for instance)
whered you get the money to order both of them???!!
i recommend this one:
name:EYE-910 BLACK

its very cheap.. only 150eur
MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum 54G | A64 Opteron 146 @ 3ghz| Club3d X800pro 256MB @ XT PE | OCZ 3200el rev2 2x512 | Lian-li pcv1000 | OCZ Powerstream 520w | Samsung 959NF 19" CRT | Hitachi 160 sata x2 + Seagate 160gb ata | Stock air atm
OLD:
3dmark01
How about looking for something older (and cheaper)
I have bought an HP NetServer 5/66 LF for less than ~ 30$
and... take a look how does it look now
http://greencube.myslenka.net/overall-beta1/
Well, it still isn't finished, but work continues
it features: Epox 8K5A2+ with an DUT3C 1700+ @ 2200MHz, watercooled NB and CPU (blocks made by a member of overclocking.cz/4um member Galaxi - check this http://www.sweb.cz/galax01/ ), FSB 200MHz on KT333(max 235 - see link in my signature), everything written in my signature.
But more, a PWM regulator using Atmel 89C52RD2 MCU, with LCD output and more, but with still quite buggy firmware (no time to debug)

you can try looking for some companies changing their machinery

I'd have suggested the PC76 Lain li case. But it's not split in to two sides, nor can it take dual PSU.
Does have a load of room though.
Any chance you'd like to share your planning? I'm amazed that almost any project could require TWO sever cases like those you've ordered.
