nicely fits 4-5 5.25 drives (3 absolute minimum) fits minimum 2 3.5 drives ...plan to use 1-2 5.25>3.5 converters

i don't care about window, rather not have power supply, removeable mobo tray a plus, ....basically I'm looking for space for my hardrives, 4+, a dvd rom and cd-writer (all fit nicely with room :0, I hate cramped cases)

I want good qualtiy/build

looks are important to very important.

willing to spend around 100 buck level.


thanks : )
 
Here's one that I recently found at Newegg: Enermax CS-B031-B.
. There is also another very similar at: KeyPower KP-B0317 .
These are completely screwless/toolless including even mobo mountings! Snap-in rails for ALL drives. I'm about to order one from KeyPower to "evaluate" 😉 .
.bh.
:moon:
 
I would look into either the Antec Plusview 1000 or Antec SLK 3700. The Plusview has a window, SLK3700 does not. The only place I know you can get the 3700 without PSU is Directron. Neither of them have mobo trays though. Another option would be the Lian-Li PC60. It has 12 bays and a mobo tray, but costs $112. Link
 
I just ordered this sucker today 🙂

buyextremegear.com has it for $89 + shipping (about $19 3 day select to me). This includes a 420w PS with the sleave wrapped wires.

Takes a 120 mm up front if you want. Really only 2 - 3.5 usable hd spaces in cage but there is an additional one one the swinging fan holder that is not listed as well as using any on of the 6 5.25 drive bays. Top is dvd+r burner, next - cd burner, 3rd at top - fanbus. First 5.25 bay at bottom will hold a hard drive which will be cooled by the 120 mm fan. 2 hd's in hd cage have there own fan as well. I'd think about a top blow hole as well but why cut the titanium? Review The front door has open slats giving good airflow to the front fan as well as exposing subdued light from my fanbus bright red and blue led's.
