I really hate the tiny fans, poor airflow, and lack of wire routing options in era cases, and am looking to upgrade my P-II system to a fully modern ATX case with all of the above (so: 120mm or 140mm fans, wire routing behind motherboard tray, and lower power supply mount).

My catch is, I need to install a 5.25” floppy, a 3.5” floppy, and a CD drive. So that’s minimum 3 x 5.25” bays or 2 x 5.25” and 1 x 3.5”. Ideally I would actually like 4 or 5 bays so I can stick a second CD or maybe a Zip or Jaz drive in. Not concerned about color, but I prefer it not be ugly (AKA Rosewill) or unreasonably expensive, and a door to cover the bays might be nice since I’m going to have a kaleidoscope of drive colors.

But… right now in 2022, this seems unobtanium. I would love something like a Fractal Designs Define XL R2 with 4 full bays. Can’t find it. Maybe a Silverstone TJ04. Costs a fortune.

Closest I can find is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro with 3 bays. Pricey for me with shipping to Canada, but it’s all I can find. Can get the Enthoo Primo with 5 bays, but that thing’s honking huge.

Anyone have any knowledge of other cases that might fit the bill, even older ones on eBay?

(For reference, I have other old computers in Antec P180, P183, Sonata III and Sonata Designer cases, but I’m not really thrilled with using any of them. The system is currently housed in an Antec Performance II SX835II, but it only has 2 x 80mm case fans and tends to be rather echoey and a massive dust magnet.)
