Case Recommendation for 6 HD & Tyan 1836 DLUAN Moboard

I have an old Tyan 1836 DLUAN motherboard that I am trying to replace the case for. This is a rather large ATX form factor board. My only other requirements are a case that will handle 6 x 3.5" hard drives internally. Form is not a huge factor, but I'd like something well-designed enough that it won't rip my hands to shreds when I install.
Am I committed to a full tower case, or would my Tyan fit into a mid-tower if I downgraded to 4 3.5" bays?
Thank you for your help!
 
Whats your price range? CM Stacker, albeit huge, with 2 or 3 Harddrive kits, will cool your harddrives very excellently while allowing you to install your own very quiet 120mm fans.
 
Tiamat,
The CM stacker seems a bit extreme for my needs. I would like to spend $120 max for both the case and power supply.
Thanks for your prompt posting!
 
wtf? why would an atx board not fit into an atx case? if with rather large you mean eatx, well there are midi towers that are eatx. and alot of midi towers have 6 internal 3.5" bays too.
 
Considering how the only information I could locate on Tyan's site for that board was dated from early 2000, I'd say it's time to dump it and get something current. 4 years is a hell of a long time to be using a mobo, or using one that's that old (even if you didn't get it that long ago) is pushing it. Although considering how CHEAP you are when it comes to a case, you'll probably get whatever is on clearance (technology from last year) and run into similar issues in a year or two.
 
I have a thermaltake xaser III it has room for 7 hard drives and a flopppy three removable cages, came with fan controller, tooless on most everything, locks the works. I got it for 122 shipped, it is a lot cheaper now
 
Silverstone Berserker with whatever Silverstone PSU fits your budget and the front panel conections option if needed. Just search on Silverstone on newegg and you'll have them all in one list.
