Question Case like legacy Antec Twelve Hundred

[dnuttall]

I'm trying to use Newegg's PCBuilder.
Projected system will be i7 12700k w/32Gb RAM and M2 boot SSD.

I have several standard HD's and Philips BDR that I would like to migrate from an i7-4700 (2014 vintage).
Most cases seem to allow only 2 or 3 standard size drives.

What would be a good case choice that is also shipped by Newegg as I want to use their Eniac build service.

TIA.
Dave

How many is "several"?
5 ? 10 ?

 

[dnuttall]

Thanks. Sorry I didn't say.

Four HDs and the BDR drive.

If migrating, why would you need a new case?

I need a new case because I'm not going to assemble the new one and the old system can be "repurposed" at the church.

 

[Wolfshadw]

In that case, I'd probably opt for something like the Fractal Design Define R5.
Full disclosure, I'm not familiar with the Eniac build service

Wow....that case looks great! Thanks for the info.

The Eniac service appears to be something new @Newegg. My sense is that they wouldn't offer if the services are unreliable.

Five years ago, I'd have said the same thing of Newegg. Today, not so much.

I bought the stuff that I'm updating in 2014/2015, which was a good experience. The big thing for me at this moment is to acquire the same new rig here (San Antonio), our local established PC builder wants about 30% more for the identical core components......especially CPU and MB.

Thanks.

FWIW,
I ordered on 2/7/22 and UPS delivered the fully configured PC in exactly 7 days (today being 2/14).
The Fractal case and PSU that you suggested were included. The case has room for "several" hard drives!
Thanks for the advice!
