Biggest Case

[LEGEND-IWNL-]

So I am currently looking for a new pc case to upgrade to.
I would really like to jave a lot of expandability and some spare room in the cases, so I would like to get the largest case possible, that has a modern look.
Upon research, I found that the Corsair 1000d and the Thermaltake View 91 were the two cases that seemed to fit my purposes.
I tried to compare the sizes of the two cases, but quickly found out that I couldn't do so accurately due to the presence of case feet on View 91 that is lacking on the 1000d.
Obviously, the dimensions of the feet should not be counted towards the size of the chassis, but this is not the case foe the given dimensions on the Thermaltake site.
If anyone happens to have the View 91 chassis, could they please measure and post the dimensions of the case excluding the feet?
Thanks!

These days you don't need a large case. Just say what you are thinking of doing and people will tell you if you actually need a big case.

Yes, I am quite aware that these cases are overkill, but I still wish to purchase such a case. I've already decided on this topic, and I just need the dimesnions of the View 91 excluding feet.

Thermaltake has the dimensions on their website:

 

These types of cases are quite overkill, even standard full size tower ATX cases are huge for most people

 

They only have the dimensions including the feet and the protrusions on the chassis, which I wish to exclude.

Funnily enough, those cases aren't as big as I though that they might be when you said that you were looking for a Big case, given thread title of "Biggest Case", I was expecting something Double Wide or a double/triple system case.

 

Then again I only notice how big my case is when I try to transport it in my car(Thermaltake Core X9 only fits into the front passenger seat of a Toyota GT 86).

Technically you can just bolt the motherboard to your wall and now your house becomes the PC case.

 

Or

Or caselabs if you can find it...

Or better yet, you can just buy a server rack and use that as a PC case.

Then what cases would you suggest? Although I would like the largest case possible, I don't want a case that looks way too old...

True, but that would be much more work and technically be separate cases due to each of the racks being individual enclosures. It also wouldn't look as modern...

I have looked at this case, but it was released way too long ago, and is missing the modern look.

How do you know? They usually do not include the feet in the measurements, because that would be stupid (unnecessary), nor does it say it does/doesn't

Thermaltake includes every part of the chassis in their measurements. This can be clearly seen if you inspect the measurements on some of their cases with non-conventional shapes.

Pointing out that 1000D has feet. They are just hidden with the base plate. And that is included in Corsairs measurements, so 1000D is bigger of these two.

 

There's very small markets for larger cases, and from quick look, if you want overall bigger than Corsair, you need to go custom. Too bad Caselabs went out of business, they could have had something nice.

I mean you can get the Thermaltake Level 20, Level 20 HT or AH 600. Or a Lian-Li table case, where you put your components inside the table and have the glass on top to see everything.

It's feet do not contribute a considerable amount to the height of the case. It is negligible, as is the difference in the amounts the hinges protrude out from the main chassis.

None of them quite offer the same amount of room as these two cases I mentioned...

Still not getting why the deer are so important. Corsair is bigger regardless.

Corsair 1000D is a bit narrower, which may have an impact on the size, but this is due to the protruding thumbscrews on the side on the View 91.
