OK I love my black wavemaster but I would love it even more if it had.....

120mm fans front and back (with filter on the front)
No 3.5" drive bays, just 5.25" bays all the way down.
You could then use HD silencers (Zalman HD mounter for example) to mount the needed disks.
This would be great cooling and nice and silent.

Any thoughts? Dreaming or something like this on the way?

thats what fan grills are for :D :p
 
A couple 120mm intake fans in the front and a silent, low speed exhaust in the back and blowhole fan in the top. The front fans need dust filters and the case needs to maintain a positive pressure to prevent dust from coming in all spaces between body panels and drives. Also the front bezel should hinge open so the air filters are easy to get to without tipping the computer over.

All hard drive bays should be directly behind the dual 120mm intake fans in the front.

All fans should connect to a front panel speed and temp monitor. The fanspeed/temp monitor should be nicely designed and not unnecessarily bright and flashy (behind the door, low profile). It should come with temperature probes to place within the case and should read all other important temperatures.

That makes 6 internal HDD bays. 2 external 3.5" bays, 4 5.25" bays external. Space for a redundant power supply is good. All in a wavemaster-esq case.

Or perhaps in one of those server type cases with the full length front door panel thingy.

No worries about fan restrictions when the entire front is perforated aluminum.

Sounds like the new Cooler Master stacker case or the old ATC-410, S4000.

I have a 410 and using only 3.5" drives, 4 X scsi 9G, 2 200G IDE drive. I use external 5.25" box for burn DVDs......

2 120mm intake fans on drive cage, 2 x 80mm additional intake fan and 2x 80mm exhaust fans.

No worries about dust in there either eh? The G5 PowerMacs are dust fiends.
 
no dust worries - I just visit my air compressor in the garage as needed.

I prefer dust filters as a preventative measure. Keeps dust from getting in thsoe places you can't get it out of.
