Looking for slim case

LF slim case that can fit miniITX or microATX board and at least 2x 3.5" HDD.

Must fit into cabinet in the living room so it must be less than 13cm / 5.11 inch tall.

 

The cheaper, the better ... as long as it looks semi-decent. I definitely wont pay more than €100 for a case, even that is way too much.

 

EDIT:

Hmmm... looks like Node 202 is a way to go with this velcro mod for 3.5" drives :D I could probably even stack them to fit 4 drives.

EDIT2:

This one looks decent too

node 202 i think can take that

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

Nah, I have been using the drives in my main PC in a simmilar fassion for years without issues. The velcro does quite a decent job at reducing vibrations.

Don't forget to factor in the length of a SATA connector, I would probably also get something like this:
