8 SATA Drives Antec P180

Currently I'm running 8 SATA drives in my P180 and things are working fine however, I mentioned this in another thread and some people were concerned. I'd like to to discuss alternatives.

Right now 4 drives are sitting in the bottom wind tunnel with a dedicated 120mm fan. The heat from those doesn't seem to reach the rest of the case but I do wonder what might happen if that single fan failed. I don't think I would hear it.

Then I have 2 drives installed using Hardcano 14s. Those have dedicated fans and the case acts as a heat sink. Not great but OK. Then I have 2 drives mounted in the main portion of the case and they use the air flow to cool things down. The system runs 24/7 and there's not a lot of heat coming our of the vents are inside the case when I open it.

I'm buying a new system but I will keep the drives. I was planning on purchasing a cheaper case and putting my current MOBO/PSU in the cheaper case. Then I'd continue using the 8 SATA drives in my P180.

Considering I'm not going to spend $1,000 for a separate rack to store the drives, what's a good recommended case?

Since the Antec keeps 4 of the drives separated from the main area of the case, it seems to be doing a good job.

Thoughts?

I was just looking at the Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS.

1. I don't know that it really offers any advantages over the P180 (accept that I don't think the P180 will hold and EPS PSU).
2. I really dislike the side window of this model. I'm sure they make one without the window but I really don't need to see lights on my computer. I know the Hardcanos came with blue lights but they're behind the case door so I can't see them

Maybe it' just the dimensions on the PSUs that I checked. The ATX PSUs are all under 5.9". The EPS, at least from PC Power are all 7.1" deep.

I only checked units from Antec, Corsair, Seasonic and PC Power so maybe the actual dimensions isn't part of a standard but something that just happens with these vendors.
