Yowza. That is a beast. It's at least 9.5" wide, forget about tall and deep. And it's obviously built very well. I'm curious about using two 140mm fans to suck air through side panel slots, though. I don't think those slots will allow the flow those big fans could draw. And then exhausting what flow the 140s manage through a 92mm back-panel fan? My first impression is of a large positive pressure condition inside the case.

Of course, I could easily be wrong. I'd hope that anyone who put the effort into designing all of that would know much better than I about managing the airflow.

air flow problem

The case cannot be put near a wall. The intake system will basically be pulling in the exhaust (hot) air.

I am basically waiting for the model that runs a whole bunch of heat pipes up to a rice cooker. Now that would be something.

The perfect way to heat up your sake.
