I currently have a PC70, got it when it first came out, it was like one of the biggest desktop cases of its time, practically a server case. But i'm kinda tired of it and have since stripped a lot of the holes from upgrades with my 1500RPM screwdriver. The natural upgrade would be the a V2XXX from Lian Li, but they made everything backwards. I don't mind this, but the way my desk is oriented, i cannot work inside of it, so the new Lian Lis are out of the picture. I especially like how wide the case is, so that i have extra room for my hard drives. I'm running 4 SCSI DVD/CDROMs and 3 mixed HDDs and planning to add another HDD. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I know the coolermaster stacker has plenty of space for drives in it...
 
I have this case: Silverstone Temjin

It will definately accomodate what you have. Its basically a small server case. Howver its not 100% aluminum, just the facade is so its a HEAVY beech (~40 lbs, IIRC). Overall, well built, but i did have a couple gripes when installing components.
 
Is the CM stacker really that big?
I have compared the dimensions to my CM Wavemaster which is far from big, and the CM stacker doesn't seems to be much bigger in terms of the dimensions.
 
584 x 227 x 536 mm (Cm-Stacker)
540 x 198 x 458 mm (Cm-Wavemaster)
622 x 210 x 645 mm (Lian Li PC-73slb)
(D x W x H)

Well do the math ^^^ Lian Li PC-73slb is winner and best looking IMO.
 
BTX is stupid, it basically just flips everything upside down. So far the Thermaltake Shark is a very good candidate.
 
Shark has noise issue cause the whole side of the case is bacially open. I saw one running at frys and was like OMG!!! Maybe it would be ok if you sat to the right of your computer.
 
The CM Stacker should handle pretty much anything most people could need. It is a great case and I really like mine. It is fairly big and has a lot of room inside, plus a lot of cooling and the ability to use two power supplies. Also, it can be converted to BTX. Tough to beat.
