OK, so ive looked around at a bunch of websites out there and so far all ive seen is the lian li pc 343b and the U2-UFO (ugly as hell). I am considering welding my own case with sheet metal and a spot welder but i would like to avoid that if i can. What do y'all know of?

Thermaltake Mozart TX is slightly smaller than Lian Li 343B. It is about 2x the size of a full tower, weighs around 36lb w/o internal components, and about 285 inch tall. It has two motherboard mounting space (ATX / mini-ITX), and capable of running two individual systems.

Unless you need that space for whatever reason (water cooling?), personally I would advice you something else.

ya i got the TT armor and its not as big as it seems. It doesn't matter how it looks because im goin to be completely customizing it so. i saw the mountain mods ascension and it looks pretty big but is it the biggest out there?
 


It depends on what you want. If you want a big case such that you can put four GPUs, a skyscraper CPU cooler and a power supply the size of a cinder block, badge posted some big ones. If you want to put a big extended ATX board in with 50 hard drives, get yourself a server rack and put the motherboard in a 4U case and the HDDs in rackmount storage enclosures and use eSATA/external SAS (SFF-80-something)/FC to hook the drive enclosures to the motherboard's case. A full-height 42 U rack is 73.5" tall by 19" wide and a couple of feet deep, so there's a ton of space.

285 inches???

To the OP... Why do you want a large case?

The Yeong-Yang YY-0420 / YY-B0420 is a double width server cube. I use a YY-B0221 - smaller but still takes 14 HDD's stock, 16 with 2 x Coolermaster 4-into-3 drive cages.

I don't know about the OP, but I would love a Mozart TX. I mean, LOOK at it! I can't quite justify spending $300 for one. There's no real purpose other than it looks really cool, and you can jimmy two motherboards into the thing.
