talk me out of it?!?
I would probably be happy with ATX, but imagine this beast on my oak cabinets..

If I suggest you maybe you should go for LIAN li, it’s better than this and more efficient and good customer support frfr personal experience

And if you don’t mind, which specs are you going for? Maybe I can help little bit.

Yeah LIAN makes great cases
I’ve got a plex server/desktop gamer

Currently it runs a bit hot cus I got the side vent in front instead of the mesh cover on this atx style case

And it would be nice to have space for 4 HDDs

90c frfr broski you’re my system is literally on fire mode and I can feel your method remove the side panel to decrease the temperature ahah 

I’ll suggest you maybe you can go for this one. It’s better efficient value for money and you can easily add four ssd and hard drive to with no compromise

Yeah, my main issue is the front and side panel are sealed. 

I don’t have high temps maybe 90c under load but if I open the side panel it will drop about 5c

I mainly wanna get a bigger case for all the HDDs (and for expansion space for HDDs)

My current case can only hold two officially

Do you have fully ATX motherboard? If your PC running hot, maybe you should try to change your thermal past. It will help you to reduce your temperature on your GPU and your CPU to so you don’t need to upgrade your case if it is still doing that so you need to clean your system first. 

Then still the same I have few casing in my mind. Maybe you should go for that one. It will really good for the airflow and looks.
