I'm looking for a suggestion for a PC case - 3 hard disks

[Al Dykes]

I'm looking for suggestions for a chassis that can handle 3 hard disks
and two CD/DVD drives plus all the usual stuff.

Good cooling is mandatory. I'd like to find a case that a front
intake fan that blew tight across all the hard disks but I've never
seen that in a consumer box.

Suggestions?

Antec P180?
Best cooling I've seen without having to modify the case. Has a 120mm fan
that blows across thw HDD cage and is well made.
Incidentally, there are plenty of consumer cases where a fan blows over the
HDD's

I've never seen a case that did it with three drives.

Thanks.

Those Antec removable HD bays hold 3 drives and mount a fan in
front if so desired. Now you've seen it!

Yes indeed. There's room for 6 hdd's (on vibration absobing mounts) and
2x120mm fans in our P180. And I think nearly all LianLi cases do similar
with at least 3 HDD's. And our Thermaltake Xaser III blows 2x80mm fans
across a bay that I think can hold 5 hdd's.

not to mention the tsunami dream which does it with a 120mm
