All of the Mountain Mods cases are amazing though.
Unfortunately their cases look utterly discusting in my eyes. no means to be rude ofc. Just clarification. I dont care what the speficiation on the case is I just want to see what case YOU think is totally awesome, and WHY you think its awesome. it does not have to be specific to EVGA SR-2 believe me ive looked at those cases... I want to build my own after seeing them.... Besides none of them are qualitfied to house 7gallons of Mineral oil

most cases I like are long out of production and require lodes of mods to be worth wile my favorite case wold be the kandalf lcs I have one that I modded the heck out of, the only thing left that I can do is paint the inside it really nice after adding a 120mm fan slot on the top,bottom and sideand add a little cable management but my favorite thing about it is that it supports a full WC's setup with a 360mm rad and you can still mount the psu in the top I also like the cooler master 430 elite, when it comes to cheaper cases

Little Devil and Case Labs if you want something big.
Else the smaller Lian-Li and Silverstone are nice.

Probably the best case is going to be something you mod yourself. Find something close to what you are looking for and mod the rest of it to make it your own. This is if you have the ability to or want to pay someone to mod it for you.

If I were to build a case, I'd style it after the Lian-Li PC-V2010 externally (shape and finish), but have dual 120mm or 140mm front fans and 6 or more hot swap bays. Add the side panel ventilation like the Silverstone TJ11 and the same dual mid 180mm fans, same dual PSU support, but keep the motherboard tray mounted normally if you wish and have top 360/420 rad support.

Its going to be a Liquid Oil submerged cooling case. Its going to have to be an open top(grate covered top) waterproof. however thanks for the suggestion on styling.

Oil submerged? Sounds cool. However I would dread the day of having to swap hardware.

Liquid oil submerged? Really?
Yeah. I found a company that does it commerically and with a bit of inspiration I want to make an entirely custom system including a hand built radiator and alot of hand build peices and case design. For super cooling when you overclock for like 3DMark11 , LinX, or other performance testing. you can drop dry ice tubes into the oil tank and it superchills the enviroment. 0C oil =super chilled parts. dry ice wont be nessessary 100% of the time, because part of the testing will be to find an adquete and common gaming/workstation task CPU freq and graphics freq. stable for temperature. kaninja

Well part of the case design will be to be able to completely remove the motherboard tray with the graphcis cards and stuff attached. So say I want to go with 580 classifieds instead of 560Ti's. I drain the oil. pull the tray up, place in the new graphics cards while on a test bench. do dry air testing of the cards to make sure theres not any flaws in them or nessessary RMAs ect ect ect. Once im sure the cards are ok. then the mobo+new hardware gets put back in. the oil replaces and back to go for a new record on 3Dmark11.

Sort of like this, but im going with a case, not a dumb freaking fish tank. My case will look like an acutal case but with clear side panales and stuff so you can clearly see its submerged in a liquid.

How will RMA work for oil submerged components if something fails? It's a rare case that I'm sure hasn't come up before.

I like my modded CM 590, but my favorite case is the CM Storm Enforcer...  All the cable management goodness of the HAF series but with a sexy armor plated front cover and side panel. Just overall excellent build quality.
