Had my eye on Coolermaster CM630 III and while this is a great case in many respects, cleaning the front dust filter - in front of the whopping 8" fan - is going to be a pain. Both case sides must be removed before the front can be removed by unlatching 6 clips, 3 on each side.

I have seen cases where to remove the front panel you simply pulled it from the bottom front recess.
My current case has an easily accessible filter which sits in front of the fan and is simply unclipped to remove & clean.

Must be able to support 6x 3.5" HDDs plus an SSD.

TIA

With the H440, to disable the LEDs, you just dont plug them into power. As for removing the front panel to access the dust filter, the whole entire front pops off really easily.

With the 750D, there are no LEDs except for the power and hdd lights. As for fan filter, the bottom half of the front panel comes off easily but pushing it in (spring thingy) and it pops out and you can lift the panel off to remove the fan filter.

Personally I use the Corsair 750D which has 8 drive bays and the filters are easy to access. Another good case is the H440. Im not sure on the exact amount of drives you can handle but the filters are easy to access.

How is the front of the case removed?

Can the fan LEDs be easily disabled?

Off the top of my head:

NZXT H440, Noctis something (cases built off of the H440 internal frame)
Phanteks enthoo pro or something
Generally anything by Silverstone (FT-02 hue hue hue)
Antec Sonata or Cosmos...?
Corsair obsidians, like the 750D mentioned above or larger; 760t
