I want to build a WHS server with 10 hotswappable SATA bays. I've been looking for a case that has at least 7 external 5 1/4" drive bays. I want to install 1 Optical drive and two hot swap bays that have five 3 1/4" drives in three 5 1/4" bays space. I would prefer a tower/pedestal style case in black. I thought a Coolermaster Centurion might do the job but apparently the guide rails get in the way of a hot swap bay and the length of the hot swap might interfere with the back of the mobo. Cooling for the rest of the components is not a major deal since I plan to make it as energy efficient as possible. However, a relatively quiet case is appreciated since it sits in my computer room.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
