Need help in finding a case

[dkkauffmanjr]

I am updating my rig. .

I'm currently using the Thermaltake Speedo Advanced.

It has massive room for drives and I currently have to 5.25 drives a 5.25 audio drive and nzxt dual 5.25 fan controller (I'd like to discard). I'm running 4 storage hhd, 2 rapture had and 2 ssd. I'm running 3 graphics cards and a 1200 with power supply. I run my system for multiple reasons. Some for light gaming and simulation programs, graphics editing, media and music server as well as programming g code and autocad. I also use multiplease operating systems use it for music editing. I don't care for liquid cooled but like more than sufficient air cooling. My cpu has a coolermaster v10 and have 14 other fans that give me great  airflow while keeping light positive pressure. 

My case is falling apart due to age and poor build qualities.

I looked at cosmos II and 900d but still think I can do better. Evga makes a nice case but no 5.25 bays. I've also checked out Thermaltake, Antec and Nzxt but nothing stands out. I'd like to have a fan controller instead of the nzxt. And led lighting with a side window would be nice. Who doesn't want to show off there internals, right?

And with newer inputs like usb 3.1why not have them. Why is there so many options for great tech but the housing I install it in is still years behind on technology. 

If I didn't want any mobility I'd gone with a server rack but I don't have that kind of space and I'd like to be able to pick it up and move it if I needed to. 

So I'm looking for what I have just updated and better. 

Any inshore l insiget or input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Name some mobos that have headers for usb 3.1 on them. Virtually none. Choose a nice full tower like the luxe, that has plenty of space.

Evga for starters

I did look into the phantechs...thank you for the brand I've never heard of them. .I looked around the luxe wasn't looking that good but the Phanteks Enthoo Primo Special Edition looks really promising not airflow for raid but I'm one of those people that likes obscene mounts  of air cooling.

I recommend you Coolermaster Mastercase 5 if you have a ATX-MB. It has very good cooling and a lot of space

I have an e-atx motherboard, this is actually to small. 

To give you the specs of what I have now and the size,

I my case is also part server so again 5.25 bays 5 or 6 of them and plenty of drive space with a lot of airflow. 

This is why I wish I had the room to just install a server rack.
