The perfect pc case a cube?

Go to NewEgg and have a look at enthusiast pc cases. What do they have in common? They are tower cases. In a tower case the motherboard is placed vertically in the case. This is problematic for a couple reasons. One, heavy after-market coolers used to overclock the CPU put a significant amount of stress on the motherboard. Two, new video cards are getting huge and heavy (take a look at AMD's new 4870 x2 if you need a reference). So what can be done to overcome this problem?

How about a case that positions the motherboard in a horizontal fashion? And no, I am not referring to an HTPC case or a run-of-the-mill ATX case. I am talking about a genuine mass-produced, affordable, cube-style case that positions the PSU, hard drives, and optical drives in a bottom bay and places the motherboard horizontally above them.

A couple weeks ago, I came up with the cube case idea and began to do some sketches in Adobe Illustrator (sketches coming soon). After sketching for a little while I thought it a good idea to see if anyone else had a similar idea. What I found was Mountain Mods UFO2 Horizon PC case. This case looks for similar to my initial sketch. Unfortunately it's very expensive at $380 minimum.

I know of no other enthusiast cube case that can do what UFO2 Horizon case can. It's roomy enough to hold everything and then some. The cost is too prohibitive to make it a popular seller however. So why don't the likes of Thermaltake and Antec make similar cases? Perhaps they don't think "outside the box."

The perfect PC case, in my enthusiast-biased opinion, has the following characteristics:

1) Places the motherboard horizontally in a separate upper chamber for easy access.

2) Places the hard drives, optical drives, and PSU in the lower chamber.

3) Has 8 120 mm fans providing perfect ventilation for today's scorching hot hardware. Three on the top-front face, two on the top of each side panel, and one right behind the CPU. These fans could be modified to change direction and work with up to a 120 mm x 3 water cooling radiator.

4)Several fans on the bottom to keep the HDs cool and provide space for a water cooling radiator.

5)Case panels are grilled (similar to Antec's 900 case) to provide optimal airflow.

6)Top and bottom chambers can slide out like drawers (think motherboard tray here) for easy access to all hardware.

7)Possibly has one or two very large fans on the top to add additional cooling.

8) Top chamber provides enough height to clear the largest CPU heatsinks.

9)Top lid can open to change/add add-in cards without removing top tray.

10)Made of high quality material with quality workmanship.

11) Does not cost an arm and a leg ($150-$200).

12) Comes in "non-bling" versions. Not everyone wants a light show in their PC case. Bling versions will be provided at no extra cost.
