I am looking at a case for 3 slots used for cd burner, dvd rom and dvd burner. Since every drive is a different colour, I would like to find a case with the flaps for the cd/dvd drives to come out. Im also looking for a USB coming out the front of the case. I would also like to put a video editing card at the front of the system. Just a nice looking case for not all that much....

Is there a reason you need all 3 drives? I could possibly see using 2 for cd to cd or dvd to dvd copies, but not 3, now that most dvd-rw drives also burn cds quite well AND read cds and dvds.

I believe it was Steven Wright who said, "You can't have everything. Where would you put it." Never more true than here. Can you ditch one of the optical drives? In that case, I've been looking at a Silverstone case. They make a couple of models that look good for a media PC, and unlike most media pc cases, they take a full size ATX motherboard. I'm leaning towards the LC-03 case, because it is attractive, and the couple of reviews I've read said it is easy to work with. It has doors in front of the drive bays, but only 2 5.25 inch external bays. It's not cheap; street price around $150 plus a power supply.
