I've been thinking about replacing the case that my server currently resides in (Source 210) with something a bit easier to work with. 

 

Ideally I'd like something that can support ten 3.5" drives (I count 5.25" bays too). It can be old, or new, and it should support an mATX board (ideally ATX in case I upgrade). I'm more curious to know about possible old cases that are no longer made that I can find used, or possibly old server racks that I should be on the look out for since I know about and have considered most modern case (not server rack) options. 

 

 

Quick things I need: 

  1. About 10 3.5" drive bays (including 5.25" bays) 
  2. support for mATX motherboard (ATX if possible) 
  3. support ATX power supply
  4. affordable and small (not giant) is preferable 

 

P.s. any recommendations for very flexible sata cables? The standard flat sata cable is the biggest pain to work with.
