Best case- under 300, no door, 8 or more internal HDD bays?

Title says it all. Am considering the antec 1200 but am learning that with the 5870 installed, it is too long and then must give up a drive bay or two.

Looking for non-1200 recommendations. Bling okay but could take or leave it. Excellent cooling a plus

I'm pretty sure all of these have enough room to fit the 5870, but as far as their width, you might have trouble fitting a large CPU HSF in them. Check the dimensions of your CPU HSF and these cases.

Other than thay, they have 8 or more HDD bays, excellent cooling, and run under 300.

Lian Li cases are really top notch but if you looking for something with a little more design to it then I would suggest you look at the Coolermaster Cosmos S. It has plenty of room for whatever you want to do with it.

Lancool is a subsidiary of Lian Li. Two months ago they introduced a new line of Dragon Lord cases. They come with and without the bling. The lower drive cage can be rotated 90 degrees which would be a big help with those extra long video cards. Here's a link to a web page showing the different models:
