Look at the maximum number of drives that can be installed.
3 to 7 desktop 8 to 10 server

The tower is fairly large and will house 10 drives as Rick said 4-5 1/4 and 6-3 1/2. This case will work for almost any system and you will have plenty of room to work.

Try here thinking I might get a new case myself. http://www.directron.com/cases---case-fans.html
This is the best on prices and selection I've found so far but I'm still looking. I like the black antec sx1030B with 400w ps.
You can climb in and build.
