I'm thinking about buying another barebones serves to power on once a month and backup my entire 1GB of files from another PC. I'm looking for something with space for at least ten drives, and I like the 'wide' look of the Thermaltake Mozart TX, but it's really expensive and I've read mixed reviews. I don't mind spending about $200, but I really want something worth my money.
 
think the cooler master stacker would be an excellent choice. Would have thought it has better quality than the thermaltake, but it definitely has loads of space :)
 
agreed the stacker is a great case. I have an original stacker and much prefer the styling of that over the newer 830.

alternatively why not look at the lian-li v2000 should meet your needs as well.
 
I was toying between a Mozart TX and a V2000, and went for the V2000.

Whilst the Mozart does look nice, it seems highly impractical and overly large. (Not that the V2000 is small, by any means).
 
Stacker 810. It'll fit 9 hard drives plus two 5.25" left over

That is a great case, shame it's BTX though. If you have a Nforce with heatpipe that go to the motherboard plate area it won't work very well, looks like "designed for BTX" boards need to be released.

Although whether or not you need 12 hard drives is another matter. :p By the time you need more drives you might remove the smallest one to save power/heat...ie no point using 30GB drives nowadays. I have a 60GB IBM and it's used in a USB2 enclosure and not the desktop.
