Perhaps a Shuttle? Surely it will take 4 if you don't put a DVDROM in.
Or use eSATA with the rear fan blowing at the ext HDD.

We talking 3.5" drives or 2.5"? There's a good few cases that could squeeze 4x2.5" drives in, not so many that will fit 4x3.5" drives. The SG05 comes to mind, without a GPU or optical drive you'd have no bother custom mounting at least 4 drives of either size

The above case will do it well but its so much money. I would be tempted to buy a budget mATX case and mod it with some extra fans, plus no problems adding PCI cards.
