Case for lots of bays

[sg4rb0]

I need a new case for my server. I've got 5x3.5 inch HDD's, along with a 2.5inch SSD. It's likely that I will end up buying more HDD's so I want a case capable of handling at least 10x3.5inch bays along with a 2.5inch bay. I don't want to spend more than £100 on it as the quality ain't that important since it's going to sit in the attic and make noise where I can't hear in.

I'd guess just about any full tower should work for your needs... I think an Antec 1200 has space for 12 drives just in the front half.

this has 10 3.5 bays and 3 5.25 bays... $139 here which might be right around 100 pounds there.

this one has 9 bays for $71 here

this one has 15 bays for $105.

those last 2 are server chassis but as it'll be in your attic, who cares how it looks right?

Looks like the Fractal Design case is in your price range.
