I am building a new system and I can't find a case that will work for me. My current system is over 10 years old and I have 6x 3.5 inch drives that I will need to move over to the new build but I can't find a case that will work. Every last one of the cases I have looked at have only 2x or 3x 3.5 inch drive bays and I can't find any accessory drive bays to add to the case.
My old tower had room for the 6 drives but I need to keep my old system running while I am building my new one. Also that case has mesh front and side panels that provide for plenty of airflow.
Here is what I would like:
- A case with drive bays for 6x 3.5 inch drives or a case where you can add drive bays in order to get up to the 6 drives I need.
- Mid Tower Case 21 inch high (542mm) I might settle for a 18.7 inch case (475mm) if there was enough room inside for what I want to do.
- Mesh (not tempered glass) especially on the front of the case.
- Room for a closed loop processor cooler with a radiator mounted on the inside top of the case
- USB 3.1, 3.2 and 2.0 connections available on the front or top or side of the case. I suppose I could use an external USB 2.0 Hub but that takes up desk space
- One or multiple 5.25 Inch bays usable for either internal ODDs and/or USB connector and status panels.
- RGB that works with Gigabyte Motherboards. Or an accessory that will give me the RGB that works with Gigabyte.
Here is what I plan on building:
Gigabyte Aorus Master Z390 Motherboard
Intel i9-9900k
Samsung 970 EVO Plus pcie 1GB SSD running as pcie 4x
Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super graphics card
CoolerMaster ML280L (or equivalent) Cooler
Crucial Ballistix 32GB - DDR4-3200
Does anyone have any suggestions for a case especially about how to add drive bays to get to the 6x 3.5 inch drives?
