Hi I am looking for a case for my upcoming broadwell-e build(in the next few months). I well be flexing(because that's a thing right?) with as many  6tb hard drives as I can 8, so that this PC can also double as a plex server. What cases do you recommend that have tones of hard drive space, able to be neat and clean, and has decent airflow for 2 GPUs? I am not sure if I will be water cooling the GPUs as of right now. I don't want a caselabs case, although bad ass; they are too big for me.

Here is where I would keep my frolics if I had any.

That only has 2 drive bays included with it. You'll need to buy more from Phanteks if he gets that case.

You can use pcpartpicker to see what cases have 8 HDD bays by using the sorting

on the side.  I would go for the trusty Fractal Design Define R5 because it has pretty

good water cooling capabilities in my opinion, I'm sure theres a better case but with

minimal research, I'd recommend that 

i5 4670k| Asrock H81M-ITX| EVGA Nex 650g| WD Black 500Gb| H100 with SP120s| ASUS Matrix 7970 Platinum (just sold)| Patriot Venom 1600Mhz 8Gb| Bitfenix Prodigy. Build log in progress

I also vote Node 804. Usually when you use that many drive at once, they block airflow. A split chamber case is the best option. It's mATX though.
