Hi all.

I need a mid-tower soon.
It will have Micro-ATX, 4 3.5" drives (RAID5), a SSD, DVD-RW, and a high-end video card. With good airflow and cable management (under the motherboard). No liquid cooling (done with that)
This is easy to find.

The hard part is I can't stand needing to take apart the whole PC just to replace a hard-drive, DVD, RAM, etc.
Some 3.5” drive bays have tool-less locks, but they face the graphics card so I need to remove the card to remove a drive.
Do I expect too much??

Any ideas?

thanks!

Hi again.

The cases look great. But I'm not sure if it's possible for the CoolMaster to have a 11" / 270mm card AND lots of drive bays at the same time? Just not described clearly.

The Fractal Design "Supports graphics card lengths up to 260mm when removable upper HDD-bay is in place"

Do I need a FULL Tower if I want this kind of space?
