Hi guys, I'm looking for a cheap & cheerful case for a file server I want to build next week. Specs are as follows:

Motherboard/CPU/GPU: Asus E35M1-M Pro (with AMD E-350)
RAM: Crucial 2 GB @ 1333 MHz
HDDs: 5 (2x 1.5 TB + 3x 2 TB)
PSU: Huntkey Jumper 300G (300 W)
OS: Amahi (with Greyhole storage pooling)

The case needs to be cheap (I'm thinking £30 or less) and large enough for 5 HDDs plus some future expansion. I intend it to be as quiet as possible (motherboard is fanless) so I'm hoping to get a case that comes with a decent low-noise fan or two. I'm not bothered about what the case looks like since it'll be out of sight.

Any suggestions?
 
Went with the Xigmatek Asgard in the end because the BitFenix isn't in stock and it turns out I need to take tomorrow off so might as well get the parts delivered then and build the thing over the weekend.

Thanks for the advice guys!
