Antec Nineteen Hundred Stands Tall...Really Tall
At Antec's Computex booth, one exhibit literally stuck its head out, the new Nineteen Hundred super-tower chassis. This two foot-long ATX full-tower features nine expansion slot bays, and supports HPTX, EATX, and conventional ATX motherboard form-factors. It features well-partitioned motherboard, drive, power, and peripheral areas, and is made of 0.8 mm-thick steel. The case offers a total of 17 drive bays, including three 5.25-inch, fourteen 2.5-inch or 12 3.5-inch (configurable). It features two PSU bays, letting you add redundant or supplementary PSUs. Its cooling system includes three 120 mm front intakes, two 120 mm top exhaust that can be used to latch a 240 x 120 radiator, two 120 mm fans that circulate the air within the case, and a rear 120 mm exhaust. The case below is pictured with lime green highlights, we suspect more highlight color options could be in the works.

Add in those that do GPU compute and bitcoin, have just vastly increased that market. People who know NOTHING about PCs at all, do bitcoin mining. Wit ha lack of specially-designed mining ASICs available on the market, there's actually a larger market for this sort of case than you'd imagine...or Corsair wouldn't have the 900D, either. Every case maker has big huge multi-GPU cases for a reason...because there is a market for them.
I have an Antec 1100 and it IS the same case with a PSU and HDD stand underneath.
On topic, the largest case I've ever had was a Cooler Master Storm Stryker. I bought it cheap and only had it for about 2 days then sold it to a friend along with an ASRock Extreme 6. It was just really too big for my liking. I only plan on building m-ATX and mini-ITX rigs. This case is not for me but I do see some people buying it. Those who do 4-way SLI or CFX and those who need a lot of HDDs.
Why not go with much less power hungry fans? Just curious? Personal preference?
Also if you look at W1zzes test the HD 7970 Ghz ed un overclocked has a maximum power pull of 273w from the PCI-e pegs not the slot so overclocked and water cooled I could see them hit 350-400w maximum pull.
