Full ATX Tower

[Djinnux]

SO I bought a full sized ATX motherboard during the newegg blowout sale this week and I bought a r7 2700 to put on it.  Now my real issue which is probably largely stupid but its my thing so indulge me.

 

I managed to score a couple SAS Raid cards from work and I bought some NIB old SAS Hard drives 3tb Dell Server drives that I want to use for my mass storage but the drives run a tad warm and I would like a HDD cage that will be in front of a fan that I can blow across them to cool them off well enough.  I also will be putting my 2060 in thiss system so I guess id like some reasonable airflow in general but I do want something with a couple of what I have listed as possibilities.  

At this point my inclination is to just get an H500 from NZXT but I am wondering if its a good choice and or if others are better

I think the cooler master h500 is a great option if you want plenty of airflow.

How many hard drives do you have?

 

What is your location (country) and budget?

Well I am using 2 3 tb HDDs but my SAS RAID card has two channels so I could possibly expand that to 4 drives running raid 10 so I would like to have slots for 4 3.5s and possibly some 2.5s and Budget id like to stay south of 100 USD if possible

Phanteks's Enthoo Pro M TG would probably work pretty well for you then

A case like Thermaltake Core X31 TG would worhk for your curent system, but you'd need to buy an extra 3.5" hard drive cage in the future for expansion

I really like that phanteks one might be looking at that one fairly seriously
