Can anyone suggest a good cabinet for holding lots of 3.5" hard-drives (6+) supporting ATX motherboards and which do not break the bank. Building PC for media storage and occasionally playing games, though I have all the other parts and currently running on a bench. Thanks for your suggestions.

How about Antec P101 Silent? It supports 8 x 3.5" HDD. Available for 7 - 10K.

I've read somewhere that P101 has a lower clearance for the SATA port if the motherboard has right-angled connector. 8 HDDs would suffice for me atleast at the current stage.

If you want to go overkill (13 drives) and are okay with a used cabinet, check out this one - Cooler Master Cosmos II. It is listed in TE's classifieds section.

Thanks, will check that out.

Has anyone any idea about the Cooler Master Force 500?It supports 8 3.5" HDDs and is cheap but unable to find quality reviews on the same. Anymore suggestions are welcome.

I have this, it can support upto 7 HDD bays, more if you can add adapters to the 5.25 bays it has.

Feel free to ask any more questions about this. I'm using this with 4 HDDs as a NAS
