this may not fit in this section or on this forum at all as its not specific to EVGA.
what is the biggest computer case any company makes? i mean physical size not just that "well this case can hold 10 SSDs" or that "this case can have a 480mm radiator in it" etc. etc.. now these are important for a specific build someone might have in mind but this is just a general info question.

didnt that case shrink a little from when it was still a concept slate from corsair? i saw the linus tech tips video on it, and the concept version seems bigger than the current case.

Well if it was shrunk it wasn't by too much.

Base on the posts so far --> How about some qualifiers ?
Biggest Case ever & @ what price point ?
Biggest case Currently sold ?
What about the many cases that were designed to be stacked ?

people here can add whatever they want to this and for whatever reason. i will not remove it. my question was kind of on a personal level just in case (no pun intended) i decide to switch computer cases to something with more room for later expansion.
i currently have an apevia X hermes red case which works well for what i need and want but its fun to think about other projects.

How does 24x24x18 inches sound to you? :D Mountain Mods. I had their U2-UFO which was a great case, particularly for water cooling. Basically an 18" cube. You can put 2 rigs in the one using the duality set up. Their biggest is probably the Ascension range - the 'standard' model is 24x18x18 inches.. it's big. The biggest (I think) is the extended Ascension which is 24x24x18 inches! I think you can also add a stackable part to that for additional radiator(s) and fans...

Yes totally! I think that's 27x27x12, a little smaller as far as volume goes than the Mountain Mods extended Ascension, but still a huge case!

the corsair Obsidian Series 1000D Super-Tower Case is still bigger at 800mm x 505mm x 800mm or 31.5 in x 20 in x 31.5 in. but in terms of shrunk. i was comparing it to the linus tech tips video in which is was a corsair concept slate in the video to what the size looks like in the pics. when it was a concept, it looked wider than what it is now. this is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRPmykpEJfA

Been wanting to order one of theirs for a while but they never reply to their contact form and don't have a phone or email listed so I guess they don't want sales too badly lol. There are some nice fridge style rigs in their gallery page though.

I would think something like a long depth 10U or 8U rack chassis would be pretty sizeable volume wise, then you can throw it in a rack cabinet and use multiple chassis. I would think with quick disconnects you could get pretty fancy with the cooling configuration. Maybe look at how mainframes, HPC and custom servers do it. Hard to argue with having a hulking refrigerator sized rack cabinet as your baller PC.

come on people. i said case. not cases, server tower or desk computer. do you think i am made of money? no i am not. my money tree can only go so fast until the others mature and start producing on their own. LOL
if only i had the room for any of those then it would be fun to have them as you would never have to worry about bottlenecks again for anything another than when the parts starting getting dated.

Well.. you asked; " what is the biggest computer case any company makes? i mean physical size" - you never said anything about your budget or how much room you have for the case.. almost all the posts are responding to exactly what you asked. O.o
