Hi everyone. I need to find a new case that can handle a lot of hard drives. Currently, i have in win gt1 snow white gaming case, which is the mid-tower case. It seems that there is not enough space at all, bc i have 5 hdds, 2 ssds installed.
So i need to find a new one that fits my requirement:
- Supports ATX motherboard and power supply
- Must be an ATX full-tower case
- Water cooling support, so that i can install AIO liquid cpu cooler like coisair h100i
- Holds at least 6-7 3.5" HDDs, 2 ssds 2.5", 3-4 gpus.
I cannot find any cases that have all of theses features. So anyone can suggest some of them which is around 100-150$ ?
I appreciate your help

if you are looking late 2018 early 2019 you are SOL. I myself have been looking for a case that supports watercooling with large amount of hard drives and an optical drive ( for my blu ray burner) however, what I am finding is that when you add watercooling you lose your hard drive and optical drive options due to radiators. lots of nice cases on the market but sadly manufactures want to rob peter to pay paul. so you can either have watercooling, or you can have your hard drives and optical bays. this is true whether you go for an AIO ( I don't recommend) or custom loop.

your best bet would be to either run a modified "test bench", or get ahold of a mobo tray and make your own case around the mobo tray
 
Newegg currently has old stock Fractal Design Arc Midi cases for $50 shipped. If you want to save some money, that would meet all your requirements, aside from the fourth GPU.

Edit: I'm also seeing the white Fractal Define R6 for $100. Which would be even better.
