I can not speak well enough about the Cooler Master Haf 932 Advanced. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160
It's quiet, which was a huge point for me, and has plenty of room. I've had it for 4 years. The inside is easy to work around, there are 5 3.5" drive sleds for hard drives, 4 2.5" bays, 1 external 3.5" bay and 4 External 5.25" bays, It's got locations for water cooling (Which I haven't used yet) and power supply is on the bottom for best airflow. I have 8 3.5"HDD's in mine with the addition of a 2 5.25" bay to 3 3.5" bay converter. The only cons I would call it on are 1: the weight, (It's steel and I don't move mine much so not an issue for me) 2: the drive sleds are plastic, and I managed to break the clip on one -- it isn't really an issue 3: The HDD and power LED's are BRIGHT. I had to put black tape on mine and you can still see the light through it (Although it's suitably dimmed) My brother got the Haf 912. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233 It's not as quiet, but he's been very happy with his. My current build: https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=36991408 I've been putting parts together for this since 2011, which the case being the oldest piece and the piece I expect to last another 5+ years.
