Case w/more than 4 (5.25") Drive Bays?

Can anyone help me find a computer case that has more than 4 x 5.25" & more than 1 x 3.5" drive bays? With my current setup, I need 4 (5.25") bays, but need to leave option for future upgrade to expand.

I've found Lian-Li PC-75B, which seems to be a good one (expensive though), but I would like to know if there any other better computer case available.

This is not for server, but P4 type motherboard. Also, if I can't find one with this option, then I think my second choice is ThermalTake's Xaser III series. What do you think about their cases?

Thanks in advanced.
 
Look under Bow Technology and Codegen on newegg et al. The Codegen 9000 series has lots of 5" bays any of which can be converted to 3" and one dedicated 3".
The Bow Tech has 6x5" bays and several 3" bays. Newegg hasn't had any of the 9000 series for a while now but if you look you still can find. There are several Codegen series that have room for more than 4x5" drives.

I have a cheap foxconn full tower case from a couple years ago ... its got 6 5.25 slots (as well as 6 3.5 slots)
the power supply that came with it died after a year or so (it was only a 300 watt ... generic brand) ... however with a decent PS this case has been very good to me

This is the current model of the case ... mine has casters on it, and I added a couple extra blowholes for some additional fans on mine ..
