What is a kick ass computer case??
Right now I have Thermaltake case and love it. It is all aluminum and just been great. However I am slowling out growing it.


However I need something else..

Here are the basics
I have 8 sata drives.. ( need to add a couple more)
Don't care about floppy drives
a couple of cd-bays ( 2 )
a ton of fans.. I live in vegas and it is impossible to keep anything cool

If it matters.. I have a 1000 w/s power supply.. soon to be 2 sli video cards.. tons of drives..

Why would you need 8 sata drives?

Because he produces content, and it takes up a lot of space?

Ric,

Another idea would be get 2 drobo's drop your drives in there trust me you can't go wrong :-) I'm getting mines this week with 4 1-tb drives to keep my music in order.

Grab something like this to convert 3x5.25 bays to 4x3.5 sata trays:

This case is pretty good all around but is killer for max drive space:

I like to keep a good amount of space right in the case cause access is always faster vs the external even over firewire. I keep 6 sata drives and 4 1TB external firewire drives. Around 3TB inside and 4TB outside.

Those Cooler Master Stacker cases have been a fav for a few years. According to the link above, they are letting them go for a really nice price lately, they used to be quite a bit more.

Thermaltake Armour or Coolermaster Cosmos can handle a lot of drives. I've been researching them because I want to fit 11 HDDs, and the Armour seems the best choice.

I'll use 2 hotswap racks.. the kind that turn three 5.25" bays into four 3.5" HDD bays... for a total of 8 HDDs in a RAID5. Then 3 other drives in regular 3.5" HDD bays.
