Looking for a big case, help!

mx-6* · 03-07-2002, 06:24 PM

Where can i get a killer aluminum case for a good price? I've seen some good ones at directron\servercase and a few other sites but I'm not sure what I want.

Got links?

I was considering the cube but now I'm going to mod a fridge for watercooling so I don't have the room. But a big 6bay would be sweet.

i'am sure someone here can link you to my site!

Big case's , try Lian Li's PC-76 , PC-78, PC-626 , PC-70, PC-71 or PC75!

if it doesn't have to be aluminum just big u can look into a supermicro sc-750 or 760...

they are about 2.5 feet tall or so and i have about 6 external 5 1/4 bays
1 internal 5 1/4... 1 external 3 1/2 and 2 internal 3 1/2

lots of space... would be a good case that could hold a watercooling setup (my original planned wc case)...

if that doesn't do it for you, just go to servercase.com

I bought my PC-70 (Lian Li aluminum fulltower) at www.so-trickcomputers.com . Their prices were as low as anyone's on the PC-70, and when I got it I noticed that they had actually taken the time to open the box and wrap the case in bubble wrap. It made it in pristine condition and is a really kickass case.

Brad I am pretty sure that the 910 is a steel case with just an aluminum door/faceplate.

Brad · 03-09-2002, 01:59 AM

pH, who cares? It is SO damn nice :P I like how the mobo is lifted up off the bottom so the pump won't take up too many pci slots, the 80mm's over the pci slots are great for card cooling, it has plenty of room at the bottom front for more hdd bays, or radiators, and it has a heap of room at the top back as well.

mx-6* · 03-09-2002, 02:34 PM

Thats a killer price for a 10 bay and its a pretty wide case too.

Brad · 03-09-2002, 05:41 PM

yeah, it is really wide, you could have a 172mm fan down at the front with no clearance issues

mx-6* · 03-09-2002, 07:40 PM

How about this one: http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage....150-020-05.JPG

mx-6* · 03-09-2002, 07:42 PM

And also Newegg has the cubecase for 165: http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp

Pretty cheap compared to servercase.com.

Brad · 03-09-2002, 08:42 PM

that newegg case is the same as the one I linked to, just a differant bezel. I've seen that case with about 9 differant fronts so far

mx-6* · 03-09-2002, 10:40 PM

It did look almost the same, and its only 55 bucks there.

ivan2740 · 05-06-2002, 06:44 PM

Hm anyone know of a large case that has 2 psu's?

Brad · 05-07-2002, 02:27 AM

ivan, many do, with just 5 - 10min of modding

ivan2740 · 05-07-2002, 08:40 PM

LoL, well I didn't want to have to mod something like that, but what would you suggest for a good case, needs to have a nice ammount of room=) (i was thinking chieftec dragon, or a chenming)

WebMasta33 · 05-07-2002, 11:58 PM

Antec file server....

http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage....129-010-10.JPG

This, perhaps, is the mother of all cases

It's also $569 too

ivan2740 · 05-08-2002, 04:56 PM

Wow, nice case, now if only i was spending 559=(
lol

BaconGrease · 05-22-2002, 07:01 PM
