Hey guys, would value your input!

I am looking for a case to house my media server. Must be able to house at least 15 hard drives. I had my eye on the lian-li pc-v2000 but frontier electronics don't stock that model. Another option was the cm stacker stc-t01 which has 11 x 5.25" slots and I could use some icydock 5hdd brackets which take 3 x 5.25" slots.. But frontosa don't have stock of that case! Any suggestions on cases available locally which meet my needs would be welcome!
 
umm get larger hard drives so less space needed :p

I h8 to see the size of the case that can handle that many hdd's
 
Just how much space are you planning to have? There are 1 Tb drives out now. 5 drives in raid5 gives you 4Tb with redundancy. Do you need more than that?
 
Sure, you can get 1TB hard drives.... but what do i do with the 8 drives that are in my case at the moment? And how do i convince the wife its a necessity? If i get a decent case that can take a heap, like the Codegen S-201 Jumbo Server case (Any idea who sells these locally? Other than Cyberdyne who dont have stock i mean) then i can slip in a few 5 x 500gb Raid 5 arrays for christmas, or birthdays to augment the 2odd terabytes already in there! And the wife can't complain about a whole whack of cash getting blown at once!
