I want a near-silent setup but require a large case to house 5 hard drives. Currently each HD lives in a zalman heatpipe enclosure which I've been really happy with over the past couple of years - not a single hd failure using these babies and with massive reductions in noise! The problem is they require 5 1/4 bays hence im looking at a tower but all the higher quality cases appear to be tool-less i.e. you can't use screws to fix drives into the bays which I really want in order to properly secure the rubber mountings of the zalmans to stop them drooping like they do currently in my Coolermaster Cavalier (which is is absolutely full and suffering from air flow problems)

I'm quite tempted by the Thermaltake Kandalf - big, low noise fans would be perfect but im worred by the tool-less bays.

Any suggestions?

Up to £150 ish; bit difficult to justify spending anything more than that really. The Kandalf is £130 and I'd be happy with that if someone could detail the bay fixings; there aren't many reviews of this case and those I've found don't really cover this point.
The PSU im looking at is £100...and I haven't even started to consider motherboard/cpu/mem! My computer is really just a file server these days anyway - I still run a 9700pro :/
