New Computer Case, but I don't know which one...
I need a new good looking case, black with 6 HD slots inside and if possible, easy removal like the Antec cases I've seen. I hate having one with a door thing infront of the CD Drives - does anyone know one that meets those standards?

The inside looks odd LOL
I can't see where the PSU would go and etc.
Would it work on my parts? I have P4P800 Mobo.
And does it come in black?

Thanks, FastFokker's case looks hot.
But is it just me, or does every one look like it can only hold 4 - 5 Hard drives not including using a rack in the CD Drive bays. Is there any one that holds 6?

he already said that he hates swinging bay cover
what size are you looking for?
small? med? full?
imao, SILVERSTONE SST-TJ06 is best bang for a buck.
big enough for anything, clean look, and wind tunnel

if you wan somthing decent but really cheap
check out cooler master CENTURION series, even thought it's med tower, inside space is lot smaller than other med towers. you may have problems with wire management.
also check out
coolermaster CM Stacker
Lian-Li are nice
but I'll never pay $300+ for a case

Antec Titan 550
How about the Antec Titan 550? It has 6 HD slots and the annoying door can swing 270 degrees to fold along side the case.

Used to have the lian-li pcv1000, then replaced it with the Silverstone TJ-06 mine is the black version with side window. Exteremely quiet if you use a fan controller because there is an 80mm fan at the front. Wind tunnel feature drops my temp 8 degrees. Costs $175 taxes in.

hi make sure that the atx power supply is around 480 watts or more
cheaper cases only have a lower type power supply which are crap
waste of money
the higher the power supply the better built for things to run smooth
i would look into alienwear cases these are very good and can be picked
up for around $80
