First off i tried to rename the original thread but i cant so the title may be misleading, because it does not have anything to do about my case details
I am building a custom case and was wondering what i could do about the hdd's and optical drive cages? The rest of my build follows:
My case will have a side window with 4 120mm fans on the windows, 1 per corner.
All fans in case will be UV reactive paint.
The top cover will have 2 140mm/120mm fans for exhaust one at each end and a optical drive facing up. The optical drive will not be used for dvd playback. A 6"x4" abouts, Plexiglas screen will rise from the top with a UV reactive logo on it. In between the fans there will be "trident carhood" style slits and 2 angled out led ports, with uv leds facing the screen to light the logo.
The back of the case will have a standard I/O shield with a top mount psu, and 1 120mm fan.
The front will need to be at least 6 drive bays. i will have under them 2 possible fighter style toggle switch, not sure of fight style. Along with 3 80mm fans for a front intake. Mesh over the fans.
I am not sure about color yet, i was thinking of black to green fade. Will post a link to pictures for plans soon. Wrote the plans up in Qcad.

So i am thinking a normal mid tower case is 42cm by 41.5cm by 17cm i am thinking 25"x25"10". Gives me good room for my design and good area for cable management and airflow. I may go longer for my vertical facing optical drive.
