Hi all,

I've been using an old but gold Antec 300 case for the last several years.

The front USB connectors are on their last legs, and are USB2.0.

I like the accessible design of modern cases, and the magnetic dust covers.

I'm thinking it would be wise to upgrade to a more modern case.

The thing is, I have 3x 3.5" hard drives that I want to keep,
Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Blue Serial ATA
Device Model: WDC WD5000AAJS-00YFA0

Model Family: Seagate BarraCuda 3.5
Device Model: ST8000DM004-2CX188

Model Family: Western Digital Blue
Device Model: WDC WD10EZEX-08WN4A0

A single 2.5" i'd like to keep (it's still decent for OS boot)

Model Family: Phison Driven SSDs
Device Model: PNY CS900 120GB SSD

(And 2 NVMe SSDs which aren't really affected by the case.)
Model Number: WD Green SN350 2TB

Model Number: WDC WDS100T2B0C-00PXH0

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a modern and entry-level (relatively affordable) ATX tower case that supports 3x 3.5" drive bays, and at least 1x 2.5" drives. Thanks!
 
I was thinking of going with this case (Carbide Series SPEC-05),

as it has all the bays that I require,

Then I remembered that I had some mesh I had ordered from China.

I was able to insert the mesh in front of the fans so it should prevent any pet dander/hair getting in to the components inside (hopefully).
