I'm wondering, can anyone here tell what brand and model this modded case is? It's supposed to be a full tower and it looks like It's made of sheet metal or steel. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

It looks like a Thermaltake. |

Well it looks like he modified the case to close off the rear PSU hole and installed a panel with cutouts and screw holes on the internal frame, so it's not off the shelf. You can always ask them link. "Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh." - The Doctor |

Looks like some kind of old BTX case they cut openings in to mount the extra supplies. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

I looked at Enermax and it does share some features, but not all. Of course the mods aren't what I'm looking at, just the case brand and type. It's supposed to be a full tower, BTX is plausible and a bit rare today. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Ok I did get an email back from the source of the 3 psus in a case, He said and I'll quote this(Mind Ya this is with 2 psus(min) and a 120x360x30mm radiator in mind(I have a Coolgate rad, measurements are only approx)): Ultra m923 Ultra m923 Mid-Tower ATX Case Now If I wanted a case that could do 2 psus and a radiator at the same time and cost was no object, I know of two Cases, the Little Devil PC-V8 and the Silverstone TJ11, Although to be fair the PC-V8 can hold 3 Coolgate Rads and 2 psus, at least as long as the Rads and the psus don't conflict with each other and of course both are North of $300.00. I was also recently told of the Xigmatek Elysium Silver CCC-HSA0DS-U02 by Null and Void which with shipping and tax for Me would run $267.13 which I'm currently evaluating.

The Xigmatek Elysium case is also reviewed at Jonnyguru and at Bit-tech, plus a host of other sites that are mentioned over at Xigmatek. Supposedly Xigmatek is going to make an adapter to mount a 120x480 radiator in the drive bays, this seems to be the almost ideal low cost water cooling case from what I've read so far.
