Small case with heaps of space?

Hey guys,
well i'm sick of carting around my massive Thermaltake Armor case, I start sweating just looking at the damn thing. Therefore i'm trying to find a decent case that is fairly light but has a substantial amount of space for HDD's, say 5 or 6.
Anyone know of a good case for this?

Thanks

Lanboy Air?
 
MM H2go - Can easily do 3 optical drives plus 6 HDs with the addition of an extra HD bracket.

Lian Li PC-A05N - 1 optical drive plus 5 HDs.

I assumed that you have an ATX motherboard, but if you were interested in switching to mATX you could definitely increase your options. Of course, it also depends on how big your video card is too.
 
Thanks guys, some good cases there. I'm also looking for the ability to hotswap in the front drive bays. Are there any cases that come with hotswappable connectors in the front bays?
 
Do you really need to carry all that storage with you when you travel or can you offload it to a home NAS?

Make your own hot-swap:

My Super LANboy is light (aluminum chassis) and I currently have 4 HDDs hooked up, with room for a few more. It even has a carrying handle(although I haven't been to a LAN in years now.)
 
Yep, Lan Gear Da Box. My two builds with it:

There is an optional HD cage you can buy and mount it above the GPU area (inspired by yours truly) so you can have at least 4 internal 3.5" drives with a possible 5th and 6th mounted in the 5-1/4" bay (using some ingenuity)
