Hey I finally got my WC and computer into a HUGE case as you will see in the pictures below. The case I found was a proliant 4500 that my school recieved as a donation but now is mine. The one problem with this case is that I don't even think it was AT standard as far as the mobo stand-offs. So I did a search here and found that insted of drilling holes for new stand-offs, just drill your holes then use nylon screws, nuts, and spacers. Well it worked great and i think you could throw this thing of a mountain and the motherboard would still be in the case. As for my componets I have in my WC system: B'ville HC (One Huge Core), Hydor L30I pump, Maze 4 CPU, Tee Line, and Clearflex tubing. Here are the pics
Yes this is my old case it with all its WC in it, mesures 18.5" x 8" x 15.25" HxWxD. Yes its all very squished in there!
The Two cases side by side, and yes the old case fits in the new very easy. New case 25" x 8.5" x 21" HxWxD
K, This is my first build, you will notice the way the HDD is mounted, very badly, will fix that later on. Also note the huge B'ville HC, where the SCSI HDD rack would be (NO CUTTING!).
I hated how the HDD was just sliding in the case, so I fixed that. Now the only problem was the wires.
Here I try my best to get the wires under control still not the best but better.
The Two 120mm's in the front attached by greenman's great shroud!
Finally the back, As you see I have no backplate but not really a big deal. One of the biggest problems was with the PSU, the server had a huge 490 watt PSU in it, and I had to cut a metal thing that came out of the case to act as a adapter plate. Also I like the two covers at the bottom of the case that read "Warning Hazardous Area"!
