Im looking for a freaking massive case because i like massive cases i am also looking to do water cooling down the road so this is a must.

 

 

I think the 900D fits what i want quite well i am just wondering if there is any alternatives that i should look into/consider that is not to far from the price of the 900D around  £270.

 

thanks in advance for any contributions

The Phanteks case is not even close to the size, or quality of the 900D.

CaseLabs has some pretty sweet cases if you want bigger than the 900D.

Take a look at Caselabs. Pretty expensive but worth it for extreme builds IMHO. Or the Enthoo Primo like said above. There isn't much else for cases of that size. The Enthoo Primo is not nearly as big. Caselabs or the 900D are pretty much your options to be honest.

I agree. The 900D has build quality issues, the Primo is better.

 

The 900D is only 9cm longer in one dimension.

900D: 692mm x 252mm x 650mm

Primo: 250mm x 650mm x 600mm (WxHxD)

Hmm you've obviously not seen Linus' review on it. Also the side panel window is a piece of shit. I would never buy that case...

And 9cm is a pretty big difference. I would like too see how impossible it is to cram 12 radiators into the primo.

I had one for nearly a year(900d), the build quality isn't bad at all, It's a massive case for not much money, some compromises obviously had to be made though.

The side panel is flimsy to an extent, but you can't physically break it or bend it out of shape unless you honestly tried to screw it up, I've dropped my sidepanels multiple times, and they're still in perfect condition.

Obviously it isn't a caselabs, but considering how huge it is, and the amount of options you have with it, for being half the price of a caselabs, I'd say its not bad at all.

The bottom of the motherboard tray has a tiny bit of flex, but once you put a mobo in it + other components, 99% of the "flimsyness" that people complain about goes away.

Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra. There's not much it can't contain. Linus could probably sleep in one. And it's not crazy ass expensive

 

Other than that for the size your options are:

HAF Stacker - not mega huge, but it's expandable and moddable. Built specifically for these purposes. Also not crazy expensive.

Some of the cases from caselabs, these are massively huge (depending on what you get) but they're about as expensive as unobtanium, or mer

You could also check out Mountain Mods, they're equally expensive as case labs.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Slightly smaller, and you mean that the 900D is better quality? Watch a few reviews, the cases were broken for Hardware Canucks and a few others. Phanteks has really good quality cases.

And 9cm is a pretty big difference. I would like too see how impossible it is to cram 12 radiators into the primo.

The window issue was on the Pro, not Primo, don't confuse cases.

 

Take a look at Caselabs cases, but they are very expensive. You can take a look at the Corsair Air 540, it is also a bit big but it is a different kind of case.

Also look at Corsair 750D and 760T, Bitfenix Shinobi XL and Colossus, and Lian Li cases, I don't have others at my mind right now.
