    Hey,

    Is there such a case out there that can house atleast 10 HDD's (1 for windows, 1 for games, 1 for personal data, and 7+ in Raid5 for my DVD/Blu-ray library) as well as fit an 8800GTX and what not (same machine to be used to for gaming and storing/sending media for HTPC).

    Thanks

    There are plenty of cases consisting of nothing but 5.25" bays on the front (10+) that could house 5-in-3s and easily accomodate 10 hdds.

    The case for my now ex-computer was a YY cube and held 10 hdds, though it could be tough to find one of them these days.

    England.

    Mister_Tad - Can you recommend any? I'm not sure what to search for nor where to look to find reviews on such cases.

    How about 15, or heck 20 HDD's (for endless expandability)? Or is that a bit of a stretch?

    Thanks

    Coolermaster stacker or Lian-Li P80 would hold around 15-20 with 5-in-3s, a few less with 4-in-3s

    Alternatively there are some server cubes out there with ~20 5.25" bays which would be able to accomodate 30+ hdds, for true silliness
