Why the name
No it is not named after an SUV. It is named after an actual place and has an actual meaning.

The name comes from the Athabascan Indians and translates into "High one". It's other more common name is Mount McKinley . The highest and largest mountain in North America. It is so large in fact that it has it's own sub-artic eco-system.

Ok so why did I name it that?

The pictures should say the rest. I will post more as I continue to develop the project.

This is the height

width is 24" depth is 12"

Laying out and cutting the front so I could mount the Matrix bezel was extremely complex and time consuming. Of course I am still in the beginning stages of this and I have a lot of work left to go. I have a lot of surprises in store and a lot of new ideas that I will be proving out with this case.

Electron Chaser · 05-24-05, 10:32 PM

Well I had a few hours to work on it this weekend and I managed to at least mount my finished Bezel layout and setup my new LCD that I am going to mount in the front of the case and configure it. I will probably cut out the hole to mount the LCD screen as well as the LCD screen for my Mach II tomorrow. Anyway here are a few pics. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

My 4" LCD screen setup to show MBM nice and clear.

Front of case.

i think he'll need 2, he has to power his fans after all

why the heck is everyone building giant cases now?

DeViL_909 · 05-25-05, 09:24 AM

That is one huge case. I have to know, why did you use the matrix chiftec front on the case? Are there modding plans for it, or is that going to be the front?

Yes we can't forget about the fans, LOL

I don't know if everyone is going to a giant case. But the small cases with the 20 pounds of crap in a 10 pound bag have been played out. Not too mention being they are a pain in the butt to work on.

I have a lot of items going into this case. and I wanted it all to fit properly with plenty of room between components for maximum cooling.

I always liked the Matrix Front Bezel. Yes that is the front but it is not done by a long shot. I have several other mods to do to the front yet.

Zulu-1 · 05-25-05, 10:23 AM

god... damn...
i always thought you were nuts.. this and that huge fan a while ago confirmed it

ghettocomp · 05-25-05, 02:33 PM

Oh Yeah!! another big case builder! woohoooo!

now that I have given the official ghetto thumbs up, you have to do something extremely cool with this...

P4mustangtime · 05-25-05, 09:30 PM

Should be interesting to see your results when you've put everything in that big rig! I took mesure in compare with my tower - DAMN! your rig is about 3.2 times taller than mine.

shellshock · 05-26-05, 02:21 PM

well, this defnally wont be a lan party rig rofl

looks sweet!!

honhon · 05-27-05, 02:00 AM

you should actually put 2 different computers in there. one in the upper section and one in the lower section with all their own components, so you can run one and then the other by itself

one question...... are you planning on a window mod?

Believe it or not, I am not sure if I will have the room to run 2 full PC's in the case or at least be able to power it off of one outlet. My expected Amp draw is going to be nearly 15 Amps just with one PC running. Yes I will be doing a window mod on this. I am still open to ideas for the design.

Flip-Mode · 05-27-05, 08:02 AM

Great idea! I'll have to think about something like that mayself one day.

waddupmm · 05-27-05, 09:06 AM

WOW, that thing is huge, you gonna stick it in your room?

In my Office yes. My wife would kill me if I put it in our bedroom. LOL

honhon · 05-27-05, 11:06 AM

maybe you could create a "electron chaser" logo? for the window.

also one thing thats been making me ponder, where did you aquire this beast from>?

also if your only able to run one pc in there.... you could probably create, easily, a huge water cooling system.

should put one pc way at the top of the case, then put in a mini fridge type setup for a chilled water system, then fill it up with Beer and Bawls

honhon · 05-27-05, 11:45 AM

Yes I will be putting in one of Weapon's Monster Rads in the case. As well as a Mach II, and a few other odds and ends

Where did I get the case. Well I ordered it. From who? Well I am an Electrical Controls Engineer. So I am very familiar in industrial enclosures. What you are looking at is a Hoffman Concept Enclosure. 48" X 24" X 12" I also have the backpanel that goes with it. How much did it cost? $500.00+

Is it difficult to Mod? It is made out of 14 gauge (.075") steel what do you think? LOL

pik4chu · 05-27-05, 12:26 PM

14 gauge steel, jeebus gonna need more than your average dremel to cut that thing lol!
