Ok; so my old case TJ-09B, got reassigned to server duty in the office so I am in need of a new EATX Case to support the following:
E-ATX Mobo
6x 3.5" Drives (6 atm)
3x/4x 5.25" Drives (external) - Can get away with 2 but 3 would be significantly better
4x 2.5" Drives (Only have 2 atm, but will need to add more in time I suspect)
Support for a Noctua DH 15 or Large Radiator Block
Would like really good cooling performance
Support for 2 PSUs would be nice but is far from essential
The enthoo primo is probably your best bet for a reasonably priced full tower. Basically covers all of your needs.
Will take a look; the other I identified as a possible target was the Antec 1900:

or the CM HAF X V2

EDIT: The 1900 apparantly doesnt support E-ATX so that is out.
That is very surprising considering its size. I had the HAF X before, its a pretty beastly case. Cleaning the dust filter however from the side fan is a pain to say the least.

Yet **** say it can take EATX: http://www.***********.net/reviews/c..._case_review/1
WTH O C 3 D is censored?
However it got battered in the review
Corsair 800D has
(x5) 5.25in
(x2) 3.5in
(x4) Combo 3.5in/2.5in
So, if you use the 4 combo bays for 3.5", that leaves 5 x 5.25"...you want 4 ideally, that leaves 1, which you could pop a 4 x 2.5" > 1 x 5.25" hotswap bay, like this one
It's going to get pricey but then E-ATX and a lot of requirements is likely to :)
I am planning to (a bit down the line) put in a custom water loop.
