Hey guys!

I need a new E-ATX case but everything I find doesn't fit my requirements or is too big!

I need:

- 4 or more 5.25" optical drive slots

- 360mm radiator support (push and pull support unnecessary)

- E-ATX support obviously

- great cable management

- a window

- a vertically mounted motherboard

 

Now, I know there is the 900d, but that is too big and heavy. Something more along the lines of the carbide 540 would be great, but that has too little optical drive slots.

Take a look at this. This is a list of cases with side windows, eATX support and a side window. Feel free to play with the settings.

750d?

 

I was going to recommend a Corsair case as well.

Who in the hell needs one, then alone FOUR optical drives in 2016?  I mean, my default guess would be for small scale disc duplication, but that wouldn't explain the EATX formfactor.  EATX boards imply mean high end workstation components.  Maybe they aren't optical drives but something else?  LTO drives or something similar maybe?  Or maybe just hot swappable HDDs in 5.25" bays?
