I am getting ready to redo my media server, and I have spent hours looking at cases.  I presently have an AMD-A10 running on an ATX motherboard, and I see no reason to scrap those.  I am looking for a small case that can hold ~6 hard drives, that uses a standard power supply, and has toolless trays.  Since I use the onboard graphics, I don't need to populate ANY of my slots.  So I started looking for a super compact case that might use the space that would have been taking by the slots to house HD or the power supply.  I couldn't find anything.  Anyone seen anything like that?

ATX you won't be finding anything like that to my knowledge.

The nearest thing I can think of was a thin-atx case I was pulling for in development this year. Costs for something that small and complex made it ~$500. Big mobo, small footprint is rare but not unheard of. But start looking to throw in 3.5" drives and a standard atx psu? Good luck. Better to look for an ITX for that cpu and see if you can get some 2.5" laptop drives for storage.
