Very big full tower though. The Cosmos 2 is a looker but too big, heavy and expensive here.
How much do they go for?
If u want big and beautiful and with space for the most extreme watercooling (QUIETNESS extreme for being the source for ur audio rig!!)...get a matt black corsair obsidian d800 thats what i have...i think i have a pic on my profile of my case..check it out if ur interested
I use a desktop PC as the source for my audio rig. I have a self-contained water cooler for the CPU so it's inaudible while I'm listening to my music. The graphics card is noisy when in use but it's silent when idle. Case is a Thermaltake Level 10 GT.
this is my still in progress totally (everything is watercooled! incl the hdd's) watercooled humble Corsair 800D (it will have two separated loops, one is already finished as u can see on this pic) that will be used as ultimate silent source for my new amp/dac (when it arrives in december)..as u can see i also tried to make it clean looking..so almost all cables are hidden...hope to have it ready by then...but time is hard to find

Very nice job! Custom loops like that are a PITA so i feel your pain lol.
I chuckled a little bit when I saw you are water cooling your RAM. I can understand everything else, even the hard drives, but I used to run overclocked RAM (2133 MHz) without even passive heat spreaders and my RAM never got anywhere close to dangerous temps. Actually it never even got more than warm to the touch. Just seems like an unnecessary PITA and more opportunity for leakage. IMO
This is why I haven't ever considered a custom loop. The reduction in noise would be nice but it just seems like it's more trouble than it's worth. Way too much work to set up and maintain. Those self contained units are a breeze though; took me about 15 minutes to install. Only cools the CPU though.
That cosmos case looks super cool.
