Hey,

im after a case that will fit atleast 6 hard drives in and have excellent cable managment + FAB cooling, i was about to press order on the HAF case, and realised i could only fit 5 in :(.

plus the hdd and cable requirements, quiet would be a bonus as would dust filters - not too fussed about top / bottom psu mount (altho the cases with sep chambers look cool) (ok im being too picky now lol).

Anyone any suggestions...

As for budget... hmm £200 max (unless there is something gorgous) (oh its a budget, not a target :P)

Thanks

Coolermaster ATCS 840. Tons of space, room for 6 hdds, dust filters, heaps of cooling, great cable management and it looks great.
 
Lian Li A71.
~£150, doesn't mind if you decide to go for couple HDDs more and takes longest graphic cards and asks for some more.
And if you're like and idea of fans at 1200rpm sounds noisy then add bitumen mat for mass loading. (because soft mounting doesn't totally stop vibration)


NZXT Tempest 8hdd bays more than enough
And hard/plastic HDD mounting... with totally open noise leaking front.
Can anyone spell word "noisy"?

Would the Coolermaster Cosmos be up to the job?
Sure... Up to the job of baking those HDDs alive!

Silverstone Fortress has about equally questionable HDD cooling with sardines in tin spacing with cage and (thermally decoupling) plastic trays blocking rest of the airflow. (could as well remove whole front fan because it can't push air through solid obstacle)
 
Antec P182. Brilliant cable management, pretty big without being huge, room for 6 hdd's, dust filters, seperate psu compartment. Looks great.
