I'm looking for an mATX case that is plain but aesthetically pleasing, holds a full size PSU and at least 4 hard drives. Any suggestions>
 
P180 Mini is probably the biggest mATX case out there and it's pretty clean. Room for more than four HDs.

I recommend doing a search for mATX cases on newegg to get some ideas. Almost all mATX cases use full-size power supplies so you should be good there.
 
Any suggestions for 6+ hdd mATX cases except P180? What other cases can balance noise/shakes from many hdd activity?

I found cheaper SuperMicro CSE-731i-300B with 4x standard 3.5" slots, 1x external 3.5", and 2x 5.25" (4+1+2=7), but it doesn't look very effective with for >4 hdd setup, probably will be loud.

I'm going to buy a P180 mini tomorrow. It's great. I'm tired of huge cases.

uh, you might want to checkout the case measurements before you do... the p180 mini is HUGE for a mATX case

it's about the same size as a CM centurion 5 or antec 300

Not the same size as my ATCS 840 was or the 800D I was looking to buy. I also had Cosmos cases. Never owned anything smaller.:p
I'm also getting the like new P180 mini for $40 locally. It can still fit a 13" GPU, so I no longer need a full tower case.
 
Ilike the look of the NSK2480- However it is a lay down case that officially holds 2 hard drives. A third can be placed in the second 5.25 bay using rails, and some modders have put in laptop drives for the main os drive.
