Question Case with multiple easy to swap 3.5" bays

[wicked_sticky]

I kinda want a new case, but I'm finding search filters unreliable.

I need it to fit a full size atx, GPU, heatsink (many choices here).

BUT I also need to fit ATLEAST 4x 3.5" HDD and 2x 2.5" HDD at the same time... Every case I click on is turns out to be a combo of 3 or 4 drives max

Montech king 95 looks cute but I'm very Luke warm on its functionality. Can someone please some <$150 recommendations that don't look like they're from 15+ years ago

CM HAF XB EVO ticks your functional requirements.
But looks may be another matter:

Yeah, I don't know what to do about the looks. Cases with a lot of drive storage tend to look very old, because they mainly are, and people less frequently have a bunch of 3.5" drives these days.

Of modern looking cases, the one I use (the 011 Dynamic XL) has hot-swap bays, but still that's only four drives, and you'd be hard-pressed to find new looking cases with more.

Looks do count.
You will be looking at the case for a very long time.

One of the better places to research is newegg.
You get the details easily and there is some filtering capability.

This one might be what you're looking for:

Appreciate the feedback everyone. The cube cases are the sort of thing I was looking for but I think Im sticking to one of my many existing cases for one more build. The lian li is too pricey and doesn't add enough value. Ill reuse my CM Haf 922 (which currently holds 7 x3.5" drives, 4x 2.5" drive an optical drive and a 5.25" HDD (yup I still have one of those)

I've been modding my antec 300 for 16 years, newewt build always went into that, So I missed whenver hard drive racks became extinct, It finally become too squat to house a modern gpu.

Fractal Design Define 7 https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/define/define-7/black-tg-dark-tint/
It's a modern case, fits large motherboards, and has 6 HDD/SSD trays (each fits 3.5 or 2.5) + plus two vertical brackets.

The Define 7 XL can fit 18 HDDs. Edit - it doesn't look like it ships with that many trays though!
