I have recently purchased Corsair 800D and am very disappointed because it wasn't what I hoped it to be. The case is nice and roomy for sure but it still has many flimsy plastic parts and the side panels aren't tight. I see these are for "Tool-less" build and convenience but it doesn't help at all with HDD vibration and noise caused by it. So I feel like I wasted $270 because this case isn't anything different from $70 cases for me. Really, really annoyed since it's not returnable and I wish reviewers start testing cases with many HDDs installed.
In the past I used one of the Antec case that hangs/suspends HDDs with rubber bands(?) which basically eliminated HDD noise. Unfortunately that case only holds 3 HDDs, and it can't house oversized video card.
I want a case that can withstand 6~8 HDDs running non-stop (imagine 6 old Raptors in RAID5), and will not aggravate me with the HDD vibration noise. Any suggestion? Which case has the most secure and quietest HDD mounting mechanism and can withstand HDD vibration?
