Case Suggestion: SSI-EEB/EATX with a view?

[shotsfired]

I'm building my new dual Xeon server rig, and I'm looking for suggestions for a case.

 

My needs are:

Sexy

NAS Storage (4 or 6+ 3.5 drives, or 2+ 5.25s for conversion)

BIG Window

EATX/SSI-EEB form factor

PSU shroud preferred, not needed

Water cooling friendly is a must

 

Any suggestions? Budget is flexible depending on features and sexiness. ?

Why do people even need such large computers? Anyways this might be big enough:

Thermaltake core x5, also pretty big and on sale ATM at Newegg.

I'm very strongly considering this case, but if I'm spending over 2k on a build, I want it to stand up at me and I wanna see it. 

 

I'm beyond picky.

That's fair i'm picky too that's why I am familiar with cases and frequate* this section of the forum.

I believe frequate is not a real word, and I've never personally witnessed this word used before. Then again, we live in a world where twerking is a thing, so... Anything is possible. (I believe the phrase you're thinking of is "I frequent these forums", and that would be grammatically correct.)

 

I suppose I may choose the 750D from Corsair.

I'm in same boat with you. Have several DP systems and wanna build one that have effective cooling/good storage and still look nice.

I've never tried em, but looks like caselabs are the way to go. I really like caselabs S8 but it's over kills and "server like" to me. (Enough of this stuff on my job). They gonna release BX8 soon: 6xHDDs, EATX, compact, three windows, horizontal mobo layout.  Hits all the checkboxes for me, except unwanted 5.25" drive slot.
