CM Stacker 830 Evo or ?

I need a case which amongst other things will house the following..

5 Hard Drives
1 DVD Drive
Next generation GPU
PSU measuring W 5.9" x H 3.4" x D 7.1"
and allow an Exos2 to sit on top.

I have looked the Lian Li range, but all seem to have a problem with the longer PSU interfering with the HD cages.

What's peoples thoughts?

Lian Li V1200 or V2000 don't suffer from that PSU length issue and to a great extent it has been fixed with the PLUS versions of the V1000 series anyway.

An Akasa Eclipse will hold most things although 5 HDD would require the use of one of the external 3.5" bays as the main internal 3.5" bay only holds 4 drives.

PC-A10 is good, and has a large enough PSU area to avoid the problem. PC-G70 has no cages near the PSUs, so should also be fine. PC-7+ Is cheaper and darn good, likewise with the cages, but prob wont fit 5 HDDs without taking up the 3 1/2 or 5 1/4 bays

I just got the stacker evo and its great - i have a very long PSU and massive graphics card too 8800gtx and all fits nicely with room to make adjustments - u wont be disappointed. The only grip I have with this case is that there's no good ol pc speaker - so I need to find a way to get one on there, other than that its great!

It can hold 6 +2 in the floppy bay+2 in the other hd bay in the top =10 hdd capacity not to mention 3 with brackets in the 5.25.
