Is There Such A Thing?

I've been looking around EVERYWHERE, and I see "sort of like" what I am looking for. Let me explain...

 

I'm looking for a motherboard plate, very similar to a test bench, BUT made of glass, not Acrylic. Like similar this acrylic plate:

Does a glass one not exist? Maybe with some cool design? Or is this DIY/Modding only?

Glass? No, why would it? Glass is much too fragile to thread (especially such small threads as standoffs use). It also heavy and fragile, overall the exact material you don't want to use for anything that isn't decorative.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

? I was thinking the wrong way. This what happens when I post things at night.. ?

 

But anyway, I did hear of one that had water cooling built into it. Is this feasible, or something I'm just dreaming about?

Technically it's possible. The motherboard tray would simply be a massive water distribution block and you would mount a radiator with fans and stubby pump/res beneath it. 

 

Does it exist? I couldn't find it with a quick google search, and I honestly can't imagine why other than the small percentage of people who daily-drive test benches and want them to look cleaner with custom loops. Theres an ass for every seat, as they say

I've seen that one before, but nowhere sells it...

 

Edit: Let me rephrase that... They sell it, bit it's a whopping $500...

Quick Google I found it on a site in the UK for 200 pounds (around 250 USD)

https://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/BarrowCH-Rhopilema-Series-Limited-edition-Modular-Waterway-Test-Bench-Case-Black_69838.html

 

That's actually pretty good price for what it is, especially when you look at prices of stuff like the singularity spectre PC case which was around $1000.

Keep in mind that you would still need to buy all the fittings, tubing, CPU block, GPU block, radiators, fans, pumps... 

 

No one ever said custom water cooling was cheap.

That case...bench...block...THING. Is badass as all hell, and if I was building rn I'd definitely consider that over a normal case. I love it!

I'm in the USA. I don't see that the company sends it over seas. If it was, it'd be expensive.

 

I know about water cooling, but never did it all myself. I had a friend help me. ;)

Then don't ask about plexi or glass panels with integrated liquid cooling.

I need to get a couple of those.  Very nice and rationally priced.

From what I found out, glass isn't an option right now ;)

There something similar to the Thermaltake P3/P5/P7? I never saw anything close to it. (don't give me those Cougar cases...)

 

Edit: I have a P5 on me, and I HATED it... (currently in my basement)
