Been looking to replace my ageing pc case for a while now and lately I have more specific needs.... I was looking lately at the antec 900 seeing as thats been dropped a lot in price since the 1200 came out, but is still a very nice case.

I need space for 5 harddisks mainly. But I would prefer these to be in 5.25" bays as I want to use some rubber adapters to noise dampen them. Would like these bays to have a 120mm fan cooling them.
Would also like space for a few more 120mm fans to cool the rest of the case.
Need space for a big graphics card, atm I only have 7900gtx.
Need a lot of room for the cpu heatsink as I have one of those big Thermatek ultra things.
Clear sidepanel not essential but a bonus.

Trying for around £70 budget on this but can stretch a bit higher.
 
Antec P182 has space for 6 hard drives, of which all the bays have large silicon grommets supplied to damper vibration. The 4 in the lower bay have a fan behind them pulling air over them, and the 2 in the top bay have a fan infront.
 
That tempest does look pretty nice. Thinking of upgrading my 1x160gb and 4x500gb to include 2x 1tb now that the prices are so close. To tell the truth my price margin of £70 is more what I can afford then what I am likely to spend.

*Found the tempest for £68 now, so happy with that choice. Anyone know if it always comes with a clear sidepanel or is that extra?

Yes it does the pics and reviews you can find of it show you it comes with a windowed side panel with fan.
I'd buy one if I didn't already have a case I love the fact it comes with all the 6 fans & filters for that price.
