I have a one-room flat, which means my computer is always in the same room as me. I also use the computer for everything all day, both work and leisure. In addition to that, I'm very sensitive to background noise of all sorts.
1. Which means, above all, I want a quiet system.
1b. I will replace the stock fans on the case I buy with Noctua fans. So it's nice if the case comes with no fans or at least some who are not expensive and pushing up the price.
1c. The case should be constructed for good airflow so the fans work as little as possible.
1d. The case has to be big enough so there's room for the big Noctua fan on the processor. Other than that, I currently have a single GTX 760 and will probably continue in the same form factor in the future as my gaming needs are fairly modest.
2. I also want maybe 6 drive bays. Currently I have 1 SSD and 3 HDDs, but I'd like the ability to expand to maybe 2 SSDs and 4 HDDs.
3. As for style, I want the computer to not be as tacky as gaming rigs usually are. A plainly styled classy case is what I want. Black metal or something? Perfect.
I currently have an ATX motherboard which I can't afford to upgrade at the same time as the case and fans, but I'll probably continue in the same size when I do.
I know it's possible to have water-cooled or airless systems, but that sounds way too complicated for me. I can install fans and that's about it.
All suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you.
EDIT: Also, I live in Norway, so the case must be available on the Norwegian market. These guys seem to have almost everything on our market, so they are a good indicator.
