i have a raid setup in my system now. I want to swap the 2 80 gig hd for 2 120 gig hd's.
Will also use the 2 80 gigs in same case what is the best case to do this in and keep good cooling on the hd's?
 
The chieftec/antec tower cases have plenty of room and should keep decent airflow as well.

I have a Lian Li mid tower on order, it has space for just as many drives as my full tower chieftec, really nice 😉
 
I agree that Antec is good case for this. I have a Sonata with four HDD and two CD/DVD drives and there is still room for a couple more drives. Some have said that cooling has been an issue with this case, but I haven't experienced it. I have XP 3000+ Barton with 1GB PC3200 and the system runs around 23-25 degrees C with the CPU running at 51-53 degrees C.
 
looked at a lian li case at compusa today. looks like you could fit 4 hd's across the bottom and have the two fans in frt and the rest looks pretty good after that. don't know the model # but they were asking 99.00
