An AT member gone wild more inside !!

Ok call me crazy but , easy PC setups have become too borring to build from my viepoint since I have built hundreds of computers till today, and now I want to buy this awesomecase and modify it so I can put an ATX mobo and PSU and my entire AMD 64 setup that is in my sig in it.
I love IBM products and I find them to be A+ in design, looks, and versatility.
After I get my hands on this I am planing to put a water cooling setup inside of it and much more.
What do you guys think ?

looks like it might cost a lot though

Well I did my research and most of the time you can land your hand on one for 90-100 bucks and an extra 80 bucks for shipping, not too expensive but at the same time a risk if the case turned out to be either not in good condition or it turned out to be absolutely unmodifiable. becuase in the first case even if the buyer accepts you to return it for a full refund, the shipping cost will be equal to the refund so you will e forced to kwwp it wither way.

Nice. It is like a smaller version of mine, and I absolutely love my case. 🙂 Let me know if you go through with it!!

I am impressed , but still not tempted LOL, how much did it cost you, I love the cooling potential in your case, do you have it setup as a server or as a workstation ?

Um.... I don't know, something in between really, I guess.. Here are the current pics. I was primarily for 3DS Max, although after my wife bought me a 6800 GT OC, it is used more for Guild Wars now by the both of us. But after I build her a gaming machine, I will be putting a PNY Quadro FX 2000 in there, and it will be a workstation once again. But it will continue to store all our stuff, so it will be doing file server duties as well.

It was about $550, with about $100 to ship I think. I know it came out to a bit above $600. The damn thing has 100 pound shipping weight, and weighs about 150 pounds right now. It was a pain in the arse to move into the trunk of my Camry for evacuations this weekend. But it's a great case. Still working on getting 8 of the 10 case fans replaced (not counting the fans on the dual PSUs, but the Seasonic is helping).

I want the netfinity 7000 so bad , but I am in fear of never actually getting it due to the risks that I have talked about above.
but I am also looking at other cases too such as the Xseries 220
I am looking up both and according to price / availability will be picking the easiest one to work with, does anyone know if the Xseries use a standard mobo and PSU ?

When I first got my case, it came with a backpanel for the PSUs that wouldn't fit ATX power supplies. The holes for the PSUs were HUGE. I still haven't found out what would have worked with it, as I'm sure they would have been nice. But I called them, and they (Enermax) sent me an ATX backplane for free, and I ended up modding it to add another PSU.
