I'm planning on building my 1st NAS. Current setup in mind includes:

Initially 6 hard drives. Want the ability to expand the system to a toal of 12 HD down the road. I have purchased the inital set of drives (6x 2.0TB Seagate Barracuda Green).

Case:
Down to 3 options:
Fractal Design XL
Lian Li PC-A70F
Norco RPC-2212

Norco has hot swap x 12. Nice when a drive fails. But it is $100 more. Other 2 are similar.
Main qualifications for case: Protect / cool drives (#1). Second, easy to replace drives when upgrading or failure.

It seems to me that Fractal and Lian Li case would be better with dust removal (and possibly cooling). As such, are hard drives better protected in these 2 cases? Recomendations? At this point, I'm favoring the Norco.

Thanks for the help.
