Budget - unlimited

currency - whatever, US, crypto, meh whatever

purpose - showcase workstation/gaming workhorse

other -

too impatient to wait around for AMDs next launch, Intel always swaps chipsets - no point.  DDR5 is sweet but, with better comes better processors/chipsets, sick of waiting.

 

anyway this is what i got off amazon, coming in the mail tmrw

Crosshair VIII something or other complete with monoblock, x570

AMD x5900 (threadrippers cost too much, isnt a factor of price either, just logic) just because a 5950 is the best but another couple hundred dont justify what im currently using now

4x 16gb corsair somethings, I think 3200.  All I remember is seeing a CL of 14 at 16gb and said SOLD!  299$ if anybody wants to search on amazon

3x western digi blacks, 970's i think - 1tb each

3x 1tb samsung evos (old laptop on RAID)

1x xfx radeon rx 6600 with 8g gddr

1x xfx radeon rx 6700 xt w 12g gddr (i run 6 monitors, not for play)

1100w PSU, i think its corsair with RGB puke, but given the future case, I had to go RGB with whatever supply i could find

300ml pump/res, thermaltake

then I got a spare 360mm rad, corsair

oh, lots of fans laying around the house, rgb/riing

 

Enough of that nonsense.  I want a e-atx full tower cause theyre easier to wire manage and shove stuff into.  If anybody could convince me otherwise, I am all ears.  Ive seen some pics of lian's O11 with cool distro blocks, but Id like "more".  Not so concerned about the RGB puke factor.  I basically want a fish tank in a gigantic case.  Figure make a closed loop, add in a pump, make some bubbles.  The case *should* be large enough to allow a separate loop.  Hell, Ill toss in some rubber fish to swim around!

Im looking for the "Honda Civic" of cases, to completely modify as if it were a PC in "Fast and Furious". 

Heavy modification for real components.  As I said, I could go Threadripper, I cant justify $1200 on a processor, 2x on ram, and a motherboard that costs $800 starting.  Sure I could have went with a Godlike board, but the price/features dont justify the cost for an e-atx.  Plus I couldnt find a monoblock for the motherboard.

Id like a case that I can shove as much water into, for asthetics and/or purpose - seperate "loops".  one can be asthetic, why not?  Case needs to be large enough

 

Thanks people!  Let your imagination go wild cause Ill place the order soon as theres options!

Funny you should say that, last build was a TT T71 full e-atx with a x570 msi gaming carbon/Wifi.  Love it, plenty of space to install fans/rads/everything.

plus the swing glass panels on either side, awesome

just gotta be good with cable management as it’s all glass
