Ok, So I want a new case. This is really what I need


I need 10 Internal 3.5" Bays
I would like tons of room under the MB to where I can fit all of my cables so the case is nice and neat looking.

All black is preferred. Dont care on overall size.
Probably don't want to spend more than 300 bucks total.

Am I asking too much?
 
The Fractal Design R4 has 8 native 3.5 drive bays, then you can use the two 5.25 bays with adapters so that you can put hard drives inside.

Also the Fractal XL is another large case, the R2 only has 2 drive cages with 8 total drives, but the older R1 could hold 10 with 3 drive cages.

The last case that is probably the biggest and most expensive is the Cooler Master Cosmos II. It has support for all of your drives.

There is always those Lian Li cases, or using a SuperMicro server enclosure :)

any experience with the cosmos II? it looks like it fits the bill
 
How about the Lian Li PC-A17. There is one on Ebay for $148 + shipping. 15x total 3.5" drive bays.

A Lian-Li PC50R would fit the bill as well.

Another note, Lian-Li makes 5.25"-3.5" bay adapters that allow you to put 4x 3.5" drive in 3x 5.25" bays.
They are universal and will fit in any case with at least 3x 5.25" bays.

So if you got a case with 10x 5.25" bays, you could fit 12x 3.5" drives plus an optical drive.
