I am a proud owner of one of the Case Labs Mercury S8 PC cases (probably the best case ever built IMO). I have used this case for like six or seven PC builds now and still love it. Anyway, to the point. I have been searching high and low for a similar case with a HORIZONTAL MB tray that will accept two 360mm AIO coolers (one for CPU and one for GPU). Thousands of cases out there but just cannot find one like the Mercury S8. Trying to build a system similar to mine for a friend but with the size and weight of the newest graphics cards he wants one where the GPU isn't just hanging there. Anybody seen anything similar out there in some obscure corner of the internet? Every now and then you can find a used Mercury on ebay but they sell for around $1600.
 
Honestly, there's not much of anything like this out there anymore. About the closest thing to this now, with a horizontal motherboard tray, is the HAF XB EVO ATX.

Thermaltake had several horizontal motherboard tray cases in their Core series but have discontinued basically all of their "cube" style cases. Everybody is mid tower TG RGB madness now it seems like. There are good cases out there to be found, but very few of them are going to be horizontal motherboard trays unless they are very slim style desktop chassis with extremely little room or old used ones if you can find them.
