    I hope that "when" is accurate. I'm currnetly working on a 24" cube design I can send to MM for custom fab if these ever see daylight.

    isnt that a little excessive thats like 13824 cubic inches thats alot of room,
    I have 3 girlfriends, my job, my car, and my computer. My job is the rich girl, just spend some time with her and she will provide a supply of cash. My car is the material girl, a lot of money from the rich girl goes on her. Have to be careful to keep her happy. My computer is the faithful girlfriend, I dont need to spend much on her but she is still good to me.

    You can never have enough room. Anyways I may set it up like a duality, considering what I'm looking at has 6 140mm fans in the front, 3 in the back, 4 120mm's in front, 2 in back and 4 on top. Not to mention 4 PSU mounts.

    Hrmm, that may be overkill. *shrug* guess it's called xtreme systems for a reason. Either way I'll build a 22" cube w/ 120.3's if Marci doesn't make the 140's. I think my wife is on board w/ me getting a new case since I promised to powder coat this one pink and give it to her.

    It could be like any other case out there. If it's well laid out, yes, that's a ton of room....BUT, if it's poorly laid out, it's gonna get cramped in a hurry.

    It's either gonna be a TJ07 or a Antec900.

    dunno if this has been said... but why not a shroud for a 160 that fits a 140 fan?

    I definitely think there is a market for larger more adaptable rads... With as many people that are building custom cases from the ground up... you know there are owners that would go with the "biggest & baddest"...

    Something in the lines of a setup that would be capable of linking more than one rad together... like PA 140.2x2 or a 3x3.... even if they went back to the 120mm standard... I would like a 3x3 setup! The rad should be more adaptable than it is... rads are do or die... when it comes to fitting them where you have room.

    go for it!

    At 36" tall and building, my next case ought to dwarf those.

    Could easily fit 4x140.3s with a pair of 140.2s in the back and a 120.2 under the PSU. And it's NOT a cube. When I get the foot on it, I expect it to be near 4 foot tall, and 14 inches wide. It would all JUST fit, but it would fit.
