Case for 6+ hdds

As my storage setup expands I'm going to need to get a new case to support all of the hdds.

I currently have a cooler master case with 4 3.5" bays and 3 floppy bays. I currently have 6 hdds so 2 are ghetto mounted in the floppy bays.

What's the cheapest case I can get with support for more? I am looking at second hand server cases but I'm not sure if their sas hot swap bays can be used with my sata drives.

Is there a particular server chassis with hot swap bays that I could convert or use with my sata drives connected to my Intel raid card?

I am in Australia so buying new server cases is almost out of the question as they cost $200 just in shipping.

Not fussed if desktop or server chassis, would prefer a server chassis though.

Thanks!

EDIT: sorry I forgot to say I'm looking for the cheapest option, so no 900d or anything. It's for my server system so it doesn't have to look pretty or anything.

Intel i7 3770k @ 4.5GHz, Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H, Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB Windforce, 16GB G.Skill - NT 1600MHz, 250GB Samsung Evo SSD, 2x 1TB Seagate HDD, Corsair H100i CPU cooler w/Noctua Fans, 4x SP120, Fractal Design Define R4, LG W224T, Func MS-3, Apple Numeric Keyboard
