I've been eyeing the R6 myself, and it sounds like it might work for your needs.

Also, the R5 meets your needs as well, and is cheaper than the recently released R6. It comes in several different colors, and with or without a window as well.

If you prefer a case without a door, that would have been good info to know about in the OP. The R5 definitely has two bays. Good luck in your search.

Your best bet to find some cases that work for you would be use Newegg's filter. Most of the newer cases have fixed front panels, and don't have any 5.25" bays. While this looks clean, it usually restricts airflow.

A couple of cases that might work for you to look further into:
