How about some offerings in adult full tower eatx versions...(with out silly full front case door that you have to always have open and no parts on back of case that impede side panel removal with room for water-cooling, PSU on bottom, non angular UFO looking and customizable) (like an artists blank pallet like the Lian Li as Tom so adequately stated)...
What I would like to see:
is someone take what Corsair did with the 800D advanced (all black powder coated inside and out, flat on top and front, room to mount a 120x4 (120x480) rad inside top, with room for push/ pull fans, wiring concealment. What Thermaltake did with their spedo V190001W2Z behind the Mob cable management and combine them to make the ultimate, most versatile case even for extreme Modders.Haven't seen what I want so I'm gonna build it my self.
Only have plans and diagrams so far...but this is a project I'm working on.
No thermal control separation compartments like Thermaltakes spedo V190001W2Z ...we build and modify our rigs to showcase the inside of our rigs not to hide our work and no silly useless hidden compartment trays like Thermaltakes spedo V190001W2Z.
Would like some kind of multiple GPU support bridge for large GPU's that's minimally obstructive of view through side panel.
A mother board tray but designed like 800D with grommeted routing holes and large cut out with panel/door for rear CPU access and the backside of Mobo ventilation incorporated into the Mobo tray instead of the case as it is on the 800D.
A bottom filter where extra air is drawn up from bottom where PSU is, that you can remove from the front.
6-5.25 external top bays, rear wiring concealment cover, with top one being like 800D advanced (USB/mic/headphones etc).
3 dedicated 3.5 front access toolless hot swappable drive bays located in middle below the top 5 full 5.25 bays, rear wiring concealment cover. A left side mounted fan pulling fresh air through a semi-flexible rubber accordion style duct and ventilated left side case panel across the HDD's into the right side case behind the Mobo tray and exiting the right rear of the full case height (as in 800D) vented Mobo tray.
3 full 5.25 convertable to 3.5 drive bays at the bottom with possible push or pull fan option or the use of extra 5.25 bay devices like bay reservoir/pump devices (this being on bottom would be safer in-case of disaster. It would be less likely to damage your lower bay devices as there wouldn't be any...etc.
You could even make the middle 3-3.5 and the bottom 5.25 convertable to 3.5 modular basket type so you can swap them with each other
A left side panel that has ventilation where dedicated 3.5 are located and electric current contacts if you want to mount a side fan...don't like them my self
A front panel like corsairs 800D advanced but powder coated instead of the gaudy brushed aluminum with reversible left/right front panel door like 800D but full length that conceals the 3-3.5 front access toolless hot swappable drive bays located in middle below the top 6 full 5.25 bays (top one being like 800D advanced (USB/mic/headphones etc) and the 3 full 5.25 convertable to 3.5 drive bays at the bottom (speaking of the door...this would be the perfect place for your logo which you could make any size from an inch in diameter to one as large as the door is wide. I'd make it where you could rotate 180 degrees though so, that when you flip the door to left/right it would be upright. I'd also make the door with contacts instead of wires and the LED logo lighting color swappable.
Or even a full 5.25 front grill (like Thermaltakes Spedo VI90001W2Z Full-Tower Case) that you can remove each of the drive bay grills,11total (see above), arranged in same order as above again with the top 5.25 being like Corsairs 800D advanced but instead of being solid it would be behind a grill with a solid piece behind it that opens and closes like the 800D which would be a perfect setup to locate your logo but be flush with the grill. This way you could show off all of your bay devices and lighting.
I like both but prefer the stealth look where you pop the hood and show your goodies over the "blow someones mind all at once trying to impress someone".
A left side panel that is vented where HDD's are located, a solid one and one with a large window that has contacts for a side fan if customer wants to add one (personally I don't like them).
Cable management behind the Mobo like that of the Thermaltake spedo V190001W2Z. Not sure how the cable loop is going to affect air flow.
Until then I'm just going to buy the Corsair 800D advanced and spend 4-7 times the cost of the darn case to have the case that I want.
Who knows...If you guys like the end results and I can either do it cost effectively or cant do it cost effectively and you have the dough rey me, I might get into selling them.
If you guys have any suggestions/ideas or comments that are constructive I welcome them
Yes Im insane...Muahahahaha
Dream a little dream
