  1. I just bought a Graphite 760T. Mostly because I needed a case that would hold 6 x 3.5" HDDs for my new build. The case comes with two bays (cages) of 3 x 3.5" trays for the HDDs. These bays (cages) are mounted to the bottom of the case. Do I remove one of them and stack it on the other so that I have the 6 HDDs stacked one on top of the other or just leave them both on the bottom of the case? I guess the pro of stacking them is that all the drives will have great air flow across them to keep them all cool vs one bay of 3 being blocked by the other if I leave them on the bottom of the case. I guess the con would be some blocking of the front case fans for blowing air into the case. Does anyone have experience with this? Also I'm not sure how to embed images in the post so I have just attached them. The Bays (Cages) at the bottom looks like: Bays (Cages) Stacked looks like:
  2. 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?
