Best high end full tower case?

I never understood why so many cases are on the market that are small, or limited in access/features.

I really want a true enthusiast full size case. I want to buy one that will be the last one I buy for a long, long time.

Thinks I want:

-Easy access from all directions. I am always fiddling with something.

-HUGE! Space it not a problem, I have a whole room devoted to computing in my home. I want space to work and build- I am tired of stuff not fitting right or being confined and more difficult. I want room to grow.

6+ HDD bays. really 10 or 12 would be better. I have a massive movie collection and my PC runs to my projector in the theater. A hot swap bay would be nice.

-All the new features, USB3.0 etc...
 
Check out the Coolermaster HAF X. I just build a system in it and loved it. Very easy to work with. The Corsair 800D is also a very large case.

Thanks, I was looking at both of those.

The problem I have is I have a 10 bay Thermaltake Armor now...

I am not sure if they offer enough for me to justify upgrading (But I really want to do it)

My case now is ok- but it seems like I am more limited with it than I originally thought.
 
What's your budget? Lian Li makes some epic monster cases like the LIAN LI PC-V2120X which comes with sound dampening and a front door.

Also the Temjin TJ-11 from Silverstone.

Anything bigger/crazier and you're looking at stuff like these Little Devil Cases.

Cosmos II?

If it's even real... but good call none-the-less!

Some rumors say out in January and I'd imagine it'll have a price point like the Cosmos 1000 at $250~$300.

Really liked the CM Storm Trooper. Lots of room, nice features, liked being able to switch the way the hdd racks face.

Have you considered a Raven? I'm a big fan of Silverstone cases but the price was a bit high and only some of their cases have sound dampening in mind.

I got my Raven RV01 for $70 on clearance and I'm quite pleased with it at that price, but I would not recommend anyone buy one for $279 (unless they want to buy mine!). I think for ~$200-300 I'd recommend the Silverstone RV02 or FT02 for an air cooled PC, although they aren't really full towers.

For water cooling, Caselabs hands down IMO. http://caselabs-store.com/

The Magnum M8 starts at over $300, but they look like they're worth every penny from what I can tell.
 
Take a look at the silver stoneft02. The guts are the same as the RV02 but the exterior is a lot classier.

The air cooling performance is amazing and quiet.
 
if you want lots of air ventilations: Rosewill Thor2 or Haf X. LanLi also has some great cases they are expensive and well made, but I doubt you get much more ventilation comparing to haf x.

I can second that, the HAF X is really great. It has fantastic airflow with extremely low noise levels and is also easy to handle with excellent cable management. The only drawback is that it is very heavy. 🙂
