Question Super Tower Cases

[jealousy91]

Corsair Obsidian 1000D
Thermaltake The Tower 900
Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO
Phanteks Enthoo Elite
Lian Li O11DXL
Fractal Design Define 7 XL

These are cases that are classified as "super tower" for providing more space than a full tower case. Taking these into account, what are some other make/models that fall under this category?

I would not consider the Fractal's to be "Super Tower", just "Full Tower" for both the Define 7 xl and the Fractal meshify 2 xl.

I looked at the Corsair Obsidian 1000D a while back and it is another level larger than the Meshify 2 XL, in all dimensions. A really nice case, but a bit too large for me. I went with the Meshify 2 xl for the airflow and plenty of room.

Edit, I forgot to add that the Obsidian 1000D can accommodate two puters in one case in a decent fashion.

Lian Li has a V3000 plus case too.

The 1000D is enormous and quite a bit bigger than the others.

I had a CM Stacker T01 for many years that was pretty big for its time. The Cosmos is like a modern version of it.

Not sure if the CoolerMaster HAF X meets the OP's requirements. They're a bit outdated, but just about everything modern can be added. I see them pop up from time to time on craigslist and facebook marketplace.
I have an old HAF 932 that I think I'm going to refurbish and being up to current. (Need new fans and a USB3 front panel.)

Those are still considered small compared to my Thermaltake Tower 900 and Thermaltake Core X5
Oh i also have had Mountain Mods U2 cases as well, but i think the Core X5 is better built.

How do those Thermaltake cases compare to a caselabs tx10? Only running S8 cases here.

Well, caselabs is a very high premium using aluminum and not cold pressed steel.
I however prefer the Core X8 over caselabs because the core x8 is stackable, meaning you can stack 2 of them on top, and they have a horizontal layout and not a vertical one.

I also like the layout for the Tower 900 because its unique having all your ports at the top and not the rear.
This makes the case a bit more floor friendly

Both the Core X8 and Tower 900 also natively accepts a 480.

But yeah, case labs would be like a Ferrari, and Thermaltake would be a Porsche, until you got into Thermaltake's super crazy cases like a level 20 which is a Pagani.
I still don't understand why they would make it, and why it costs so much.

Must not have been around for the Lian Li v2000 days (~2008). I think the first inverted ATX cases that I can remember came out a couple years before that, probably 2004-2006 range. They lasted for a while until people started cooking GPUs in cases that didn't have side fans over the PCI/PCIe slots or in the top/rear of the case (thinking the rear fan next to the CPU was good enough). Modern designs work very good, it is the old ones that you have to worry about.
