Antec True Power 1080 or 1060. Theyre great because they both have 4 5.25" bays and at least 6 3.5" bays. The snap out side panel is a nice touch, and the True Power psu will support all your drives. Several fan mounts are also included with it.

The cube looked fun, Still not enought HD'slots, The big Server case had Loads of 5.25, But why whould i want to mount HD's in there? What do they think you raid really? Not everyone could afford a hotswap scsi unit...

The Antev looks like Cheiftech on the inside? are they connected? I have looked at Cheiftech b4, To small, Need about 8-10 HD's+1 for floppy

And you know what? The LianLi's have 8+1floppy, But then i "need" to grow a DvD player + DvD-RW Out my ears or something, Coz if not. Then im going to want to hook the last to IDE's up with HD's to :- (
(cant find the 76/78 on the site, Are they in progres of restuction?)

Um.. Yeah, Anyone found anything that could match the Lian-Li 76 (im guessing the 78 is black? am i wrong?)
Or perhaps even got more HD bays?

Got a DPT Smartchache raid.. 2 channel Ultra Scsi2. Not TO fast.. IDE is faster... But it would be fun to run it :- )

Would need a few more HD slots tho :- )

(Yeah i think it is out off the question.. But hey, Supprise me, It dont have to look good, I could mod it to death :- )

Take care.. And thanks for the help...
B!

Why spend $200+ on a name brand when you can have more space and modding opportunites with a lower priced no name? You might also think about the Antec SX1240 (bottom case).

Personally, I prefer the case that Penguin suggested. The Antec would be my 2nd choice.

OK.. Once again.. For now it looks like the Lian-Li PC-76/78

NOT bicoz it's a brand case. BUT for the SIZE.

I need ATLEAST 8 Hd alocation slots, + one floppy.
Probobly 10 hd slots + floppy. And then i still got that raid card off mine...

Anyone know of a good size (read huge, i do) that is not brand made? i would probobly go with that insted as it would be cheaper.

OK.. Thank you for your comments, Keep em comming..
B!

For the size, the Antec or the server case. If you don't mind a little fab work, you can easily put alot of HDD in those case by mounting them vertically. With 5 of the 5.25 bays, you could mount 12 HDD's with some breathin room in between. 3 vertical columns, 4 horizontal rows.

The PC76 has SO much space. Which is extremely handy for watercooling. It also has a good sized gap between the motherboard and side panel where you could run all your excess wiring. Great case.
