Case ideas/suggestions

I'm looking to replace my server case.
Require ATX motherboard size, ATX PSU, and need a minimum of 8x 3.5HDD bays.
Not looking to spend too much, will welcome suggestions of older cases.

Fractal Define R5 fits the bill on all counts (including being an older case)

I'm assuming by "older cases" you are looking to purchase 2nd hand to save some £?
You could try searching for a 2nd hand Corsair 750D. It's possible to get up to 19 3.5" drives by getting additional drive cages on the bottom, and adapters for the 5.25" bays.
Other options are:
One of the large Phanteks Enthoo cases
NZXT H440
Cooler Master CM stacker

Yeah, I'd rather buy second hand to save some money.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look

Bit late to the party but a used fractal node?
