I have a Cosmos II (around the same weight) I found at a yard sale last year. I paid $20 for it then spent over a month cleaning it up and getting everything straight on it again. It also cost me an additional $15 for the correct power supply mounting bracket off Ebay. It's a study in excess circa 2014. I built a platform with wheels to move it around.
I also have a Cosmos 1000 I got off the local Craigslist for $20 12 years ago. Not quite as huge as the Cosmos II but still very big and heavy. I replaced the problematic side doors with cheap furnace filters and it's my main daily driver PC. It's about to get totally regutted for the 4th or 5th time very soon.
My all-time favorite case is still the Corsair Carbide 500R. I have two I bought new from Newegg for $69 after rebates. I wish they'd reissue it.

Those cosmos and 500R were nice too.
Trying to remember the giant Thermaltake case I had, it was basically a server rack.

You think 650 is bad, go look at what InWin charges for their top tier cases.

And there's been some more or less weird and innovative cases which also cost half a kidney.
If I'd be rich and be getting an expensive case, I'd go for Corsair 1000D (~600EUR).
