Going to build my own NAS with icy docks since I can't find what I want. (SATA/SAS along with with u.3 support with 2.5 and 3.5 hotswap bays in a 4U or desktop tower.)

Example of what I'm looking for
Antec 900 and 1200
Cooler Master Stacker
Cooler Master Centurion 590
Lian Li PC-A77F
Lian Li PC-P80

Bonus points if it has USB 3.0 up front but not necessary.

Will pay for shipping to FL - 33071

EDIT 12/13/24, I have received a few PM's and working with those at this time. If you still have a case you wish to offer me, send me a PM with pictures, price and shipping cost to 33071. May the best case win!

EDIT2: Pending buy of two cases a Lian Li PC-A77F and Lian Li PC-P80

EDIT3: Thanks rsquared for the Lian Li PC-A77F and Lian Li PC-P80!

Dam! I tossed out a Stacker and a Cosmos 1000 to the scrap heap. Too heavy to ship and no one wanted them here locally. Have you checked your local CL/offerup?

I've been checking, I've only found a Cooler Master Stacker at a local antique shop for $200 in meh condition. There also a Storm Stryker $275 shipped and Antec Nine Hundred Two $195 shipped on eBay in decent shape.

I also reached out to Mountain Mods for a custom case, waiting to hear back if they can do a 10 bay 5.25 case.

I would of paid the ~$100 for the shipping as long as it was in good shape.
 
I have an Antec 1200 but it would be a fortune to ship. That thing is HEAVY!
 
where are you located, I possibly have one that may work but with case so big and heavy the shipping cost may not worth it.
 
Sorry, not selling my CaseLabs TH10 with its massive stack of 5.25 bays

Remember how some of those cases not only accommodated a large number of 5.25 bays, they even had a motherboard section that was built for 10 or more PCIe slots.
 
I can pick these kinds of cases up from the (semi) local pc recycling store... Not a lot of selection, but there's usually one or two. Shipping is a loss for these big chonkers though.
 
Be aware that some cases have small "ledges" inside the bays separating the individual 5.25" slots. This is great when installing optical drives so you have a place to rest the drives while securing it. It sucks if your 3x5.25" HDD cage doesn't have slots to accommodate the ledge. I had to use some tools to flatten them out in my Corsiar 760 to fit a drive cage.

For reference, the Silverstone FS304 has slots in the side but the FS305 does not.

Since there may be some of us whoring in on this search, it would be helpful if your offering included a zip code to estimate shipping/effort.

Thanks!
