Hi, I'm looking for recommendations on brands / pc cases that I should check out or consider for a workstation. I haven't built a computer in 10 plus years, I used to enjoy it a lot, money constraints had me buy prebuilts in the past few years.

The most important feature to me would be the ergonomics of installing / replacing hardware: tool-less mechanisms, lots of room for hard drive, etc. I would need 3x 5.25 bays minimum and I'm thinking EATX or XLATX motherboard as well.

I've browsed NewEgg for a bit, I really like the Fractal Design XL R2, but after watching lots of cases reviews on YouTube, I can't deny I'm a bit jealous of the cases NZXT are putting out (feature wise).
I'm having a hard time scoping out the non-gamer hardware out there, especially for a case.

I've been quite happy with both my NZXT cases, but your need for 5.25 bays eliminates their best cases.
