NZXT S340 or H440.

 

They're more set up with liquid cooling solutions in mind, but fans work just as well. The S340 is also completely open inside. No HD or 5.25" cages in the way of the dual 140mm fans up front.

"A picture is starting to form here... I wonder if it's accurate? Some pieces don't quite seem to fit. Or maybe I just don't like the way it looks."

What? You said budget wasn't the issue so I picked the best cases. 900D does have good airflow by the way, it has good everything :)

 

If you're on a relatively high budget the Phanteks Enthoo Pro or Luxe, Evlolv ATX, Corsair 780T or NZXT Noctis 450 are good

H440 has REALLY bad airflow :L

The Cooler Master HAF (High AirFlow) series are good for airflow, as the name implies. But realistically any proper ATX case will do. What kindof style do you want? Do you also want a window? What parts are going inside?

who cares...

Sure, if you have all of the drive rails filled/installed.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro, Cooler Master HAF series; they're both good options. Really, if a case has fan mounting options on the top, bottom, front and rear and it doesn't have some stupid panel stuck to the front or top that obstructs air going in or coming out but instead has those areas filled with mesh, it's bound to have good airflow.

Hmmm Corsair 780T might be the ticket.

 

Edit: But the 900D Would make my dick look so big.

What are putting inside? The question is pretty different if you need 6 drives caddies, i'm assuming you are using an air cooler. Also, aesthetics? size?
