which case are they?

I'm looking for a case where kind of the door or the area where the mobo sit can be removed. To be able to place the mobo and everything else outside the case. So when everything is put back all at once in the case and just plug the cables where it belong. I've seen it before but cant remember. Has to be for atx mobo.

You're lookng for a case that has a removable motherboard tray. I've only heard of it. I've never seen one. I'd bet a dollar to a donut, you'll pay thru the nose for it though.
Maybe one of our mods can point you to a case with one.

I've never seen one where the cards don't have to be removed.

My pastor's old Gateway is like what I think you are looking for. The part of the case where the motherboard is slips out (which leaves both sides of the case totally open.

I found it, yes rwest you are correct. There's a couple of cases with removable motherboard tray. I'm looking for a freaking new case. Everything is really tight in the destroyer, I was doing very freaking well not rushing anything. I ended bending sideways a couple of pins on the bottom of the mobo. I'm thinking in taking it back to microcenter and get another one tomorrow. My case lid won't close cause of my v6 gt cooler. I'm going to remove it and stay with the stock one until I get a bigger case. I'm going to save the destroyer for a smaller build maybe for a brother of mine or customer. All tho my front blue fan in the front of the case, the 4 pin plug that goes to my psu is all wobbly. I kinda hate and like the destroyer.

Generally removable mobo trays are considered a luxury, and are gunna run you a good amount more money. Idk of any cases that have it for under 100$. Thats really one of those things you just gotta search for.

Many years ago, I used to build with Enlight cases - not only were they relatively cheap, they had removable motherboard trays and drive rail systems. Don't see them around much any more.
