tyan thunder k8w / s2885 case

So, while the Antec SX1000II handles EATX boards, it doesn't handle
the s2885 because the drive brackets (a nice design) overlaps the
board to the exclusion of CPU0. (NOW I find where someone else
already wrote this. As they say, anyone wanna buy an unused
SX1000II?)

Anyway, I'm looking for a good case that the s2885 does fit well in.
I'd prefer to keep the case as small as possible (while still
fitting). Need something north of 4 hard drive bays plus floppy and a
cd/dvd or two. And I'd like a case that I can try to keep quiet.

Suggestions?

Hi, you can use the S2885 but you will lose 2 of the 6 drive bays, I removed
the fan from one processor and mounted the drive bays ok, and then put the
fan back on the cpu.

I use a Thermaltake Xsaer III the 2885 fits nicely, lots of room and space
for plenty of HDs
