    ATX/uATX Slim Case that will take 3-4 2.5" drives...

    Can anyone think of a case that will support:

    - ATX and/or uATX,
    - Usual ATX power supply like HX620 etc.
    - 3-4 2.5" HDDs,
    - Be slim like the HTPC ones (I'd prefer vertical orientation though)
    - No need for optical drive.

    ?

    Here is what I had, more less, in mid but from Dell:




    Are they any equivalent cases out there that will do the job like the Dell case? (can't get Dell as they use non-standard form factors for their motherboards and PSU as kinda funky as well!)

    Just realised, that configuration would be able to take 4x 2.5" drives as well as 2x 3.5" drives in the cases normal drive cage, or you could add in a couple of adapters to give you space for 8x 2.5" drives

    There's a few - basically any case with a 5.25" bay can do it. The Antec NSK2480 has 2 5.25" drive bays and 2 3.5" bays, so could take a huge amount of drives with appropriate adapters!

    Personally, though, I've always been a fan of the Antec Minuet.
