http://www.guru3d.com/new...per-tower-pc-case.html This is the PC case of my dreams. Up to 18 fan mounts and room for up to four 480mm radiators simultaneously. I need this so bad. Storage space for up to five 3.5” HDDs and up to six 2.5” SSDs. I'm in love.

I have no need for anything like that, but it sure is a beauty...

I know they're a dying breed, but I can't help but feel in a case that huge they could fit an optical above those fans/radiators/whatever.
LET ME BE AN AUDIOPHILE DANGIT.

Do you mean an optical drive? Those are a dying breed. I've got one but it's an external USB 3.0 blu ray that plugs into the USB port.

That thing is massive. I wouldn't mind having one if I were to say, run two PCs with a massive loop in it.

That case is massive but not unreasonably so.
As for the optical questions I recommend an external one as they really work best since I don’t see cases really putting optical options in.

All Corsair needs to do is shrink this case slightly for a larger Full Tower case in this same style and I am sold. This case, while I am in love, is just to plain huge for me. I could see myself dropping it and breaking it while moving it to clean it.
As long as your popular enough, you can get away with anything.

Could be another way to add to your aerobic exercise plan. Just kidding. I guess we'll have to see what Corsair brings to Computex 2018 in a few weeks time

If I were to build two custom water cooled systems in that gigantic case, using all the features it had, I would need a forklift to move this around, for sure.

Far from case I like and need, not because size only. But still have people who could make pc case I like. Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic is one of nicer designed case with flaws because cheaper materials, but there is other models.

In another similar video from Paul's hardware, he stated that thing weighs 120lbs or 125lbs or at least was told by Corsair I believe.
I'm curious how much my current PC weighs with all the bells n whistles I've thrown into it. I already suffer from tendinitis on both arms so it's not the easiest thing to move around, especially when you have to do your water cooling maintenance which was actually done on my end a couple of weeks ago. I think a thought out plan would be in store for rigs like these. Having the desk space just enough to do your custom H20 drains and refills while not needing to move the case around would be ideal. I'm of course limited to space but have to pick up the case and move it to the next room on a strong enough wooden table I use to tip the case, drain, refill, prime, etc. I even thought about finding a small table on wheels because carrying this thing around, is not fun at all let me tell you and the case I'm talking about is a fully loaded 900D. I couldn't even imagine it's big brother the 1000D would be like.

Nice, it’s a good blend of main stream and giant mountain mods.

This case would step up my aerobic exercise with my already huge DG-87 case

looks nice, a bit overkill but hey sometimes you just gotta go big. my only dislike is the HDD cage, kinda looks like a afterthought to me, just a big square thing sitting there, i would have liked to seen it more stream lined maybe a cover coming from the psu to really clean it up
