I need a mid-tower case for a new home media server build. I already have a couple 5in3 cages I want to use, so looking for at least 8-10 external 5.25" bays.

Quick search on newegg - http://tiny url com/47uw3pv (can't post tinyurl here??)

I like the Xigmatec Utgard but the reviews all say the front connectors are flimsy. Thermaltake V5 and V6 also look decent, can't decide which one is a better buy (the sata dock could be a factor)

These are all cases designed for gamers so I'm not sure which will work best as a server - e.g. does any of these have enough clearance that tabs dont have to be broken to fit the 5in3 cage?

I want it to be as quiet as possible since it will go in the apt living room. Any suggestions for silencing (like foam padding) that work with specific cases are welcome.
