Here's something I've been trying to get to the bottom of for a while:
What case holds the most hdd's with 3 or 4 (preferably 4) external 5.25" bays and 2 external 3.5" bays? The trick is that I don't wanna break the bank with an aluminum case like the coolermaster ones that hold 6 hdds, and I don't want to have a huge tower like the antec ks188 that has 5x5.25" bays and holds 7 hdds.
The best I've found up to now is the Chenbro Genie with 5 and I'm really close to buying one soon (great cooling + construction with plenty of space = me spending $$ for it). Are there any cases that hold more than this but are not much larger? Space is valuable in my area, so don't want to go out and buy a four-foot tall tower!
Thanks for the help in advance,
nsx

um...you mentioned the antec ks188...have you looked at other antec cases? the sx1030 has exactly what you want. 4 x 5.25" external, 2 x 3.5" external, 4 x 3.5" internal. you can check the specs here and here

Guess I forgot to mention that one...yes, I've had my eyes on the SX1030 for a while, along with the 830. Great cases, but I was curious if there's anything that holds more disk drives, like the Genie or maybe something else even more spacious?...
