Hey, im new here and I know this is not a "make a wish" thread to you, but I hope to give the right guy(s) something like an concept idea so that my dream case someday will be avaliable^^
Basically its somewhat like an Corsair 250D or Bitfenix Prodigy/Phenom but made in an quality we know from the Ncase M1 and other LianLi manufactured cases. Also it should only be only as big as it needs to be while still not making compromises on performance.
The case that come closest to what I would want is the Lian li Q33 but its not long enough for high performance GPUs and on the other hand some things (ATX PSU and 3.5" HDDs) are unneccesary space consuming.
My dreamcase concept idea:
Seen from behind: The SFX(-L) PSU on the bottom left, right of it would be place for 2x 2.5" SSDs (Q33 has place for ATX PSU + 3.5" HDD)
Over them the horizontal ITX mainbaord tray. The whole internals long enough to support ~280mm 3 slot GPUs. In the front of the Case on the other side of the GPU would be enough place for an Watercooling stuff:
Behind the front there would be an somewhat-slideable 240mm mount (vertical from top to bottom) like the one on the Ncase M1 side, where you can connect an thick powerfull AiO or custom radiator. Slidable because if you use an long GPU it should be mounted more on the right side (seen from the front). If you use external radiators you could place an full sized pump and reservoir here.
The height between the mainboard tray and top of the case would be lower than Q33, just enough to fit an 92mm fan and to fit powerfull GPUs.
Near the 92mm fan grill there would be the same tubing holes like the Q33 or the same like on the Ncase M1 turned 90 degrees to use external watercooling radiators.
To get enough cooling even with air cooling, every panel would be perforated like on the the NCase M1 and in similar design: Each side gets an own panel, not like on DAN A4 or LianLi Q50 or something. The panels are all clipped on the main frame where the "somewhat slidable" 240mm Mounts are also mounted on (like the M1 with different screw hole positions).
Optional: If there is still place under the top, an somewhat-slidable 240mm radiator mount on the top, maybe designed as such, that you can choose if you want to place it under the top or behind the front.
If im guessing right, that all would have measurements of about (WxH
) 240x310x310 and 23L while having no compromises on performance.
Because of the horizontal mainboard conception and because each panel can be dismounted easily working on it would probably be very easy. The thing has enough room for even extendable 240mm AiOs with an thick radiator to cool CPU and GPU. Even the powerfull Swiftech H220 X2 would probalby fit. If you want to use an external radiator, you can use an non compromise pump and reservior inside because it has enough room. (We Germans love big external radiators btw.
)
I really hope you or others that have the ability to make such an case could think about that concept, maybe my dreamcase will someday be availiable in an similar form like the described/dreamed above!
