I ended up going with a Bitfenix Shinobi.

I am looking for a case for my upcoming Workstation build. I would like this case to have

  • A Plain, Professional, Clean Aesthetic; No flashing LEDs or dragons or other, striking look. 
  • At least 3 5 ½ inch bays.
  • A Window.
  • I would like a full tower, however a Mid-Tower is fine.
  • 7-8 PCI-E slots, 9 is absurd.
  • No front door, I have a fan controller with knobs.
  • A firewire 800 port is welcome.

Corsair Obsidian 750D Is what I would suggest.

It's a nice case until you remove one of the front bay covers.  :lol:

Yeah...probably not happening in this day and age.

Guess I will just get a PCI E adapter.

You'll have to. FireWire only really is on low end school PCs. You're OP matches the 750D description. Although 9 PCI-E slots are indeed absurd. I still so like mine though.

What the hell are you doing with 3 5 1/2 bays?  holy crap. Otherwise I would recommend Fractal Design Arc XL, Phanteks Enthoo Primo, Enthoo Luxe, or Enthoo Pro. Phanteks dosent have the bays but i dont know what the hell to use them for anyways. 

I burn alot of Blu-Rays as I am the video editor for our schools yearbook, I have 2 Blu-Ray burners and a Fan controller.
