Cases that take 8+ 3.5" drives, cheapest first:

You can also buy extra drive cages for a lot of cases, guess that is not reflected in these listings.
I think what you are looking for is increasingly obscure and priced accordingly, though.

Cheers, and @Velocio I should have thought of looking on partpicker given that's where I'm speccing the rest of the components.
Looks like the fractal design ones are probably what to go for.
I also want it to run windows so it can replace a few other things. Built up to a reasonable spec it's around £650 (not including 3.5" drives) which is a fair bit cheaper than getting a Synology one (although I imagine not as power efficient).

I'm finally getting round to updating my NAS. Looking for a case that can take at least 8 drives (mainly 3.5") and preferably more.
Fractal Design have a few but does anyone have any other suggestions? Googling it mainly brings up loads of US suggestions that are unavailable or really expensive over here.
