Loved the video! This might sound not much like a weird case idea, but as someone who has worked in the industry for over 10 years, my favorite case of all time (yes this includes even excellent modern cases) has easily been the Rosewill Thor V2. It's somewhat of an older case, but it is possible to get it NOS in some places. It would be super interesting to hear your take on how an old premium case is to use today. I absolutely love this case, I just bought one brand new off Newegg, and it's probably one of the best cases for SSIEB / E-ATX. It was meant for SLI, has excellent massive 140mm / 230mm stock fans, plenty of expansion, surprisingly-decent cable management, and what is in my opinion a very subdued look considering the time period it came out from. It's still modern with USB 3.0, and could be an excellent option for people with truly monolithic builds (such as myself) who are looking for a case that's not just black rectangle with glass and would much-rather have the airflow and expansion at all costs. Also as someone who still uses front expansion bays, there really is not a lot of options available (unless you only need one, and even then), and this case is one of the few that does not sacrifice on cooling to achieve this, which is one of many reasons why I love this case.
Overall, definitely not as externally-wacky like the tank, but should still be quite an interesting experience. It's actually impressive just how much it can still achieve with modern hardware, and it definitely brings advantages to the table that even modern PC cases could pick up on and learn from, so I think it's a good possibility. Let me know if you need help sourcing one :)

Vetroo K2 Mesh M-ATX Not that crazy of a case but I think it'd be really interested to know the thermals on this and if it is actually usable for a gaming pc.

The USA T95 prototype actually used glass armor. It was a special glass core between two steel plates. I really doubt the case creators knew about it though;)

Now I just want to build a few dozen raspberry pie(every single one running a different Linux distro;) into a aircraft carrier model just to send it to Jay _

if you can somehow get a hold of the LIAN LI PC-Y6B boat case that would be very interesting. never seen a build in the wild of that
