Looking to get a new case, prefer full tower since I have 4 SAS drives in RAID0 which generate a lot of heat. Currently I'm using a Lian Li mid-tower case and the drives are not happy in it...

Any recommendations? Looking for something professional looking rather than gaming-style.

Thanks.
 
I'm currently using a Corsair 550D and it's one of the best cases I've ever had.

It has room for 6 hard drives, all mounted up by the intake fans (to help keep them cool). You have tons of additional options with regard to fans. You can mount a 120mm fan on the bottom of the case for an additional intake (help bring in more cool air considering the air from the front intakes will be warmer from the hard drives). The panel on the side comes off allowing you to mount 2 fans. Lastly, there is another panel on the top you can remove and mount 2 more 120mm or 140mm fans. You can also fit a 240mm radiator at the top if you want to liquid cool your CPU. This might not be a bad idea considering all the hard drives you're running as it will vent all the hot CPU air directly outside the case via the radiator. To top it all off, it's lined with sound dampening foam. You throw in a bunch of 120mm Noctuas and you'll barely hear your computer.
