I'm looking at buying a new computer case. The thing is, I need something larger then the typical computer case, in particular I need lots of drive bays. I need:
4 - 5 1/4" external drive bays (3 if the case has front or top USP 2.0 ports)
2 - 3 1/2" external drive bays
5 - drive bays that can hold 3 1/2" HDDs (these could be 3 1/2" or 5 1/4")

I also do not want a side window (I could probably accept one if the case was nice enough), or to have to pay for a powersupply I am not going to use.

Thats 11 bays. Its not easy to find a case that has 11 bays that doesn't look absoluetly awful. So far the only one I've found is the Xaser 3, however I've been unable to find anyone who sells them w/out the side window.

So does anyone a company that makes a computer case that has enough bays, no window (again, I'm a little flexable on this), no power supply and doesn't look absolutely awful?

The Xaser III is an absolutely stunning case. I have a white one but here in Australia it's easier to find them with and without the side window. If you don't mind spending the extra dollars (it's damn expensive here anyway) I'd seriously recommend it over anything else that I have seen. I don't like looking at the internals of my PC either but if I had no choice like yourself, I'd still purchase the Xaser over anything else!

Antec and Lian-Li make some very nice cases as well. Thermaltake makes some nice cases too. www.newegg.com

Alienware also sells just cases designed for gamers,lots of room for bays and extra fans..
