What case would be best for me?

Hardware Cases / Chassis
1

Hi all!


A long while back I talked about building my PC, and doing all of that jazz. It's up and running, but the case has gone to crap for me.

Power light's failed, I had to repair the power switch after the cables came loose, the motherboard-side door doesn't fit on with all of my cables, the fans make a horrible whirr as the air passes through, an inclusion of a liquid cooler means that I now have no exhaust, (well, I do but the way I've had to set it up means that the hot air just gets pulled out and back in again by the fan below), and all in all I wish I had spent more money on one...

...ahem. Anyway, I need a case that could do:

6 hard drive mounts (1 for SSD, 1 for 2TB HDD, 4 for 4x2TB RAID (I know I can build a NAS box but to buy a 4 drive one the price is ridiculous))

3.5" HDD hotswap bay (if the case doesn't have one, I'll buy one)

Two (if no hotswap bay, three) 5.25" bays

Room for a Cooler Master Seidon 140v (placed at the back)

Mounts at the top of the case for exhaust.

I've found a few, but if you've found good ones, tell me! (budget is up to 130, could stretch it slightly)

Antec Lanboy Air (need to get a 3.5" hotswap bay)

Antec P193 (think I need a hotswap bay, but has a 3.5" drive bay at the front, is it hotswappable?)

Antec P280 (again, I'll get a hotswap bay)

I'll be getting the case for my birthday, which is in November. What case do you think is best?

Thanks everyone!

Okay! Thanks for your suggestions.

Here's my thoughts:

Enthoo: Nice looking, large, and good price. Comprised of mostly metal.

NZXT: Stunning to look at, really nice and large, and has a hot swap bay, so I don't need to buy one.

EDIT: Changed my mind. I'm going to be getting the Enthoo Pro. It's way cheaper, and mostly comprised of metal.

Thank you so much; it was such a tossup, and these cases you both have shown tower over the ones I picked, so thanks again!

I think you should go with the fractal design define r4
