Need Case with 8 3.5" drive bays!!!

Good news: The Chenbro Ultra fit your needs perfectly
Bad news: $600+ w/ dual 400w Power supplies

actually, the question is what do you need it for, your budget, do you need hot/cold swap capabilities, etc.

Cable length will be a major problem with most cases if you are talking IDE.

Go to my web page and click on Project Jukebox (an Excel spreadsheet). At the bottom of the main section, I list the Codegen 9001 server case. I think it can hold that many drives and I just bought one last night for under $75 shipped. And it's not even a tower case!

you could check out a lian-li case, I have a pc67 usb, but it only has 6 3.5 inch bays and 4 5.25 inch bays. But if you go here I am sure that you can find a case that has enough, don't think they sell them there though. Antec makes some nice cases too which can be found here
 
Well, the Antec SX1240 has 6 3.5 internal bays and 2 external ones (INCLUDING the floppy). But you could always tap one of the 6 5.25" bays using mounting brackets. I got this case for under $150. Why do you need 8 anyways??
 
Here is the Codegen ATX-9001 case I was referring to in my previous message. I actually just paid $70 (shipped) for the the case with Codegens 350W PSU. I am hoping that this is the same PSU AMD recommends for all of their XP chips. 🙂 It arrives on Thursday.

try the MAGIC-PRO...it has 9 bays total, hwoever 7 are 5.25"...u can always buy 3.5" mounts to stick in em...save a fortune

retails for $100 CDN, check it out here
 
I got my case yesterday. Other than the PSU (I had hoped for the one that was Codegen's AMD-approved model, but it wasn't 🙁), I think it an excellent case. I'll be digging into it tonight. taking photos along the way.
