I just got the Fractal Design Define XL case. It was $129 at Microcenter and has 10 3.5 inch drive bays with trays (not hot swap) and 4 5.25 drive bays externally. I loaded it up with 15 drives by buying a cooler master 4 in 3 bay for drives and then using the remaining 5.25 for another 3.5 hard drive.
The case is loaded but it is easy to put together and it really is built sturdy. The entire Unraid system is not in one case with over 20TB and it is super quiet. I recommend this case to anyone looking to build a system with 15 or fewer drives.
