Those big Lian-Li cubes or their newest full tower would do that - many many ££££s though!

Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 - 13x 3.5" internal (plus potentially more with additional drive cages), 4x 5.25" external.
It could be a bit difficult to track down in this country; I've found one place that has it for £174.90 but I can't link to it for the usual reasons.

Adding a 5x 3.5" cage that goes into 3x 5.25" on a case with 4x 5.25" bays will give you what you need on a cheap case that has plenty of 3.5" bays.
Be aware though that some cases have lips that stick out to help guide dvd drive into the bays that you'll have to flatten. I've done this with a small G clamp, or a hammer on ones that the clam can't reach.

The Fractal design R6 could do it if they sold extra sleds. it only ships with 6 sleds but can house 11 X 3.5 or 10 X 3.5 + 1 X 5.25.
I know a few people are pushing for Fractal to sell extra sleds.
I have 2 system so got round this problem by putting both into a R6 and used the unused sleds from my gaming machine in the file server.
I down sized from a lian li pc-343b that had 18X 5.25 bays that I had used the 3 X 5.25 to 4 X 3.5 convertors to allow me to populate it with 16 X 3.5 inch hard drives.
This case is now collecting dust so if your any where near Southampton you are welcome to it.
