Huge a$$ case needed

[SerenePhoenix]

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a server case, and it has to be huge . Like this: http://global.ebay.com/10_BAY_ATX_FULL_TOWER_SERVER_COMPUTER_CASE_wheels_NEW/390261114893/item

Anyone know of a place that might have an old one collecting dust somewhere? Preferably in KZN, but anywhere in SA will do.

Thanks!

The HAF-X has 6 Drive Bays + 5 HDD Bays?

or do you actually need 10 x 5 1/4 inch bays?

edit: ah, see you want a server case....never mind heheh

That should give you a good starting place.

Hehe The bigger the better, I want to mod the thing to hell and back so that it can fit two motherboards without it being too cramped.

why would you need 2 mobo's in a single case?

I'd rather get a dual CPU mobo. it's basically 2 mobo's in one.



edit:
like this baby - the EVGA Classified Super Record 2 Mobo

But, not even the HAF-X is big enough to swallow it.

I like to multitask I want to be able to play games or watch tv series whilst I run a bunch of predictive models and a mysql server on a separate machine which I control via remote desktop. Having it in one case will save space and it will keep me busy with a fun project. Not too mention I've always wanted a huge server case since primary school.

Got one of these lying around somewhere:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811182551
Used it to house a 10 drive server, but dropped it cause it was a pain in the ass swapping out drives and dealing with cables etc. Now there are 13 drives and the whole system is breathing easier spread out on the floor under a table with a desk fan blowing on it...

Maybe the CM Cosmos? Instead of 2 x mobo's just get a good mobo, good cpu, and a bunch of ram and decent gpu which should be able to handle the multitasking I can imagine. I know you can fit 13 hdd's in a haf-x (I have 11 currently) which acts like a decent server/media/gaming pc all in one
