Modifiable cases

Aside from the InWin ModFree and the DeepCool Morpheus, are there any other cases in this category?

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

What constitutes "modifiable"? I can send you to some forums with case modding sections and I don't think they have many limits.  🤣

Would be kind of cool if there was something more like this that are compatible with other modular sets like Lego style assembling. Antec Lanboy has too many gaps between the parts so its likely to get dusty fast. It does open up a lot of customization with 3D printing.

I gave examples. I'm not talking about what you mean, wise guy.

That's the InWin ModFree series that I mentioned.

ya there were asking if there was a case like this and that was that case...

they dont have hdd mounts or 5.25, 3.25 bays for thows people.. so 🤷‍♂️ with out that what do you need a big case for? water cooling is expensive and most people wont need more then 2 rads...no mounts to have 2 pcs or 2 gpus yet atlest?

I don't care about mounts.  I'm just looking at options.

Not sure? Any case can be modded..

 

I had an overclocked hexacore X58 SLi GTX 570 setup and stuck it into an old P3 era Antec Sonata. I cut the entire front of the can out to fit my H100 lol..

 

Anything can be modded 🙂

As I said to GS, that isn't what I'm looking for, which my 2 examples demonstrate. I want cases that are designed with that kind of flexibility in them.

well its import end because thow options are what build big modded cases. and case cost a lot more to make and thow people are willing to spend that amount for a good case. need a reason to have a big case...that cost lots... other wises its just a big empty case that cost lots... i wish it luck but its not looking good. i no they sell the base modle that might do all right and if the mods to it are not stupid in cost. but as it sits they dont even have much stock or parts to add imo.

 

ian li 011 evo was already costly at like $350 for a flimsy mesh front and barley room for 140mm fans... ya i think they did make an xl but still that even more moeny...and did get the mesh front...

@thrasher_565 I have the regular O11. Is there a big difference?

there was the 011 d

011 d evo

011 d razer (razer had an argb controller just for the front argb strip witch they made in to there argb controller today but the one in the case was all proprietary.

011 d air

011 d xl

 

i had the 011 d, air, razzer and evo so...

 

problem with the 011 d was didn't have a 120/140mm back fan something the evo and xl fixed

some of the 011 that dint have the back 120mm fan some had 1 80mm fan mount some had 2 some had non. 3x 80mm fans will fit or 2x 92mm fans. evo also had removable fan mounts witch were flimsy and my artic fans hit it... also it can do 3x 140mm at top and bottom the 011 d cant do or atlest with out a drill...

 

evo has the other gpu mount too and rotatable with the mesh kit.

 

the air is ther 011 d but with the front already mesh out of the box

 

dont no much about the xl or posably evo xl...

 

all in all there alot of short falls costs and the things are vary heavy that i just dont like and cant recommend there cases. all the moeny seems was spent on the thick pannels...

 

and debower a good youtuber was over seen it and he missed the 120mm fan...so...🤷‍♂️

 

lian li 3000v plus also has some short falls extremely heave and its like 1/2 inch short so 560mm rads wont it... like come on man... also be nice to have another bottom rad mount. i think you could have gotten more 3.5 bay but dont no were to by em...🤔 seem like a theam thses days.

 

now everyone and there mom has an 011 d ripoff and they offer better options at cheaper prices so...
