Case question (does it exist?)

Here's the type of case I am looking for:

ATX
Wide enough to take a longer board and not have it interfere with drivebays
Black (but I can paint it)
4 5.25" external bays
2 3.5" external bays
2 3.5" internal bays
(extra bays accepted)
A sliding cover to cover the drive bays

What I want to do is make a setup that will open the cover when the computer is turned on and close it when the computer is turned off. I used to have a case that would be easy to mod (it had a gear thingy on the side of the door) but it's drivebays were more limited and the layout sucked hard.
 
a Fong Kai FK-320 *almost* fits those criteria, but it only has 3 5.25 drive bys. Personally though, I dont see why you'd need anymore than that, unless you have a Cd-ROM, a CD-RW, a Live Drive, and a 5.25 bay USB conecction or something of the sort...
 
Get an Antec 1040b It has a door that covers 5.25(4x) and the3 3.5(2x) external bays. But is is hinged not sliding. The side of the case also locks and the intenral drive bays have a quick release on them. It also has tons of room at a 400 w Power Supply. Also the fans snap into cages.
 
The Enlight 7237 has everything you are looking for except the sliding cover over the drive bays. If you can paint it black, it is probably the closest to your dream case as you will find without a custom built.
