I'll get photos this weekend. I'm moving back to a old school PC and would like to sell this, the case is so massive that shipping is not a option at all, it makes a corsair 900d look tinny, its even bigger then the fridge you had in your college dorm room. And that's not a joke. Its more or less the older version of the case used in the ALR 6x6 system.

List of parts.
ALR server case properly modded to AXT. with a few not so properly done mods.
Core9 285k, never over clocked.
Asus tuf gaming z890.
One 360mm rad with fans, with room for more rads, I used to have dual 360mm's in it and there is a spot one cut a a hole to fit a quad 120mm rad.
Early d5 pump with 24v step up transformer so it runs at a higher RPM.
heat killer IV pro nickle block.
4060ti.
be quiet 1500w 80+ titanium PSU.
2 4tb NVME drive. Or was that 2tb, I know one is a WD and the other is a lnland I want to say, I'll check later.
16gb of ddr5, 6ghz kit if I recall.
It's running a heavily modded version of windows 10 I made, it look and feel like 95/nt4 but is kinda buggy. I'm wiling to leave the OS in place or I can wipe the drives clean if you'd like.

Mods done to the case.
ATX conversion, this is the big one, and it looks stock, parts were even powder coated and zink plated to match the case.
360mm rad mount, installing by cutting out a bunch of steel out of the case and using a old AC Ryan rad grillz plate to install the 360mm, this mod can not be reverted.
later down the road I added the fallowing mods, they don't look as nice but are still done well kinda.
Offset motherboard tray, it was moved back about 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch deeper in the case to fit taller video cards. That mod can be reverted by popping a few rivets and riveting it back in place and I'm willing to do that for the buyer if they want but there is no real reason to.
Redundant ATX to dual ATX PSU mod, I used it have a single ATX mounting plate that was panted to match the case but I can't find it, I was going to make a new plate to fit one PSU and put a few PCI slots to hold a 5080 next to the PSU but never got a round to it. I may be willing to do that mod if the buyer is willing to pay to have me do it. But it will take a long time for me to get around to it as I'm quite busy anymore.
Holes cut in the motherboard tray to run wires through.

If someone wants to buy the guts I'm fine with that so long as you buy the CPU/ram/GPU/NVME and board. I'd be willing to ship the parts too, just not the whole system as its far to big to ship. Asking 2k for the whole system as is. 1k shipped for the ram/GPU/board/CPU/NVME.

As a current builder of high-end PC's this offer is spot on however the 4060 doesn't due it justice.

The 16gb of ram too, was going to put a 128gb kit in it but 16gb was more then what I needed. I was planning to put a 5080 in it too but never got a round to it because a old AGP 6800ultra will play 99% of the games I play. That and the lay out of the case would not fit a most 5080s as is, I would need a acer OEM or turbo card. That or I would need to make a mount for it it next to the PSU and use a PCIe riser cable and I never got around to making that.

Part of me wants to part the system out and mod the case the right way by putting the motherboard tray all the way in the back of the case, removing the 5.25 bays and adding 2 if not 3 triple/quad 120mm rads up front and a one or 2 in the back of the case. But I also know that I would never need the case and it would just sit and collect dust.

EDIT: if you can't tell that the case is massive now you all will once I post photos of it.

here's a photo of the system running. I have to clean my office to get good photos of it. probably do that tomorrow if I get time.

also the drives are both 2tb and they're a inland qn450 and a WD black sn8100.

part of me really wants to part the system out so I can reuse the water cooling parts and mod the case the right way, but i'm still willing to sell it as is.

also wanted to note, i have the wires for the PSU too

sorry for the lack of photos, I'll be parting it out as I want to reuse the water cooling parts in my x58 system. I"ll just be selling the cpu, ram, gpu and NVME drives and the case at a latter date once I make it better for modern system.
 
pc was tossed out, had it listed on a few other sites and ether had no interest or trolls gets mad for no reason or scammers messaging me.
