Was ordering up the PC-7 Plus based on reviews/response from this forum however the single thing that concerns me slightly is the lack of HDD space. Essentially 4 if you install a floppy disk drive which is pretty weak. I currently plan on buying 2 new drives to use in raid 0 for o.s/apps and atleast 2 other drives without raid for back up. This leaves space pretty limited and my feeling is that even if i could fit all the drives i wanted in this case it might restrict airflow a large amount. Any opinions? ATM im thinking of 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (RAID 0), 1x Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB 5000AAKS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (BACKUP), and i have 2 drives in this system just now which would be a shame to waste - a 250gb and 150gb sata1 drive.

Its a last minute panic attack cause i was about to put through the order before i thought of this, opinions?
 
so you still think the pc-7 plus is a better case to go with even though its not designed for the number of hard drives i want? i would have thought its better to get a case that includes space in its spec rather than modifications. To be honest im probably only going to put 4 of the drives in just now but additions are likely in the future
 
well the name of the title has the alternative similar lian-li case but i was mainly wondering if its worth bothering with that or going for the PC-7 plus. It only has 6 bays in total but even just 1 more is reasonable. My price bracket was under £100 btw and i originally was going with the eclipse but it doesnt fit in my desk, far too long at 56cm, 50cm is even pushing it. I was considering the Antec P180 due to its size at 1 point but not too keen on the fact that theres no window and not sure about a door
