Which Case Recommendation?

OK guys and girls, I need a case recommendation please.

I've had a space become available to house a desktop/tower case. There's one limitation though, the dimensions! I only have 180mm height, 540mm wide and 470mm deep. The one advantage is that the front and sides are open, so it could over hang a little.

It's going to be a HTPC/storage box, so I would like it to hold 4*3.5 HDD's.

Thanks

This:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Silverstone Grandia GD06 Desktop Case - Black (SST-GD06B) £94.99
Total : £104.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).

The GD series is a stunning range of HTPC cases, this is the only one (i can find) that holds 4 3.5" HDD's.

Cheapest I can think of.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Silverstone LaScala LC17 Rackmount HTPC Case - Black (SST-LC17-B USB 3.0) £84.95
Total : £94.55 (includes shipping : £8.00).

I can vouch for it, I own TWO of them!

Case fans are on the noisy side though.

Replaced them with these.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Arctic F8 PWM Case Fan - 80mm £2.99
Total : £5.27 (includes shipping : £1.90).

Cheap & quiet.

Thanks guys, I like the looks of the second, but the first one has more potential.

Both are good choices.
