ISO a mid-tower case with space for 4 or more 3.5" bays

gueye

HI all, I've been working on a new build for my home PC. My current tower has two 3TB and two 4TB 3.5-inch drives. Both sets are set up in a RAID, so I'm really hoping I can migrate them over to my new build. Problem is... I can't seem to find any decent cases that actually have more than 2-3 bays for 3.5-inch storage. I really like the look of the NZXT H500 - those clean/minimalist designs are what I'm looking for. I'm indifferent on RGB capabilities of the case, I just need it to be mid-size/ATX compatible with four or more 3.5-inch bays. Maybe I'm crazy to think I can have that minimal design AND fit 4 big HDD's in there, but I'm hoping somebody on here has an idea. My research hasn't yielded much fruit. 

I'm aiming for around or less than $100 USD, but if I need to go higher to get what I need, I will.

Define R6 hold 6 out of the box, and periodically goes on sale for around $110

 

You could but the Enthoo Pro M TG at $80 after MIR on newegg right now, but you'd need to purchase additional Storage trays (DLC bays if you will) at $7 each
