Greetings all,

been wanting to do a case mod for a very LONG time now. Decided to start humble with a paint mod of a workstation case.

It'd be really great if I can tap into the forum's knowledge and recommend me a workstation case that would fit а standard PSU unit, а standard motherboard and has 7 slots.

I've been eyeing Dell T3500, which does fit two out of three: a PSU and 7 slots, but motherboard is BTX, which I don't think will work out for a regular ATX. May be if I add a the proper screws.

Any other suggestions?

There are many standard cases that fit those requirements, a lot of them around $100 as well, but not very workstation-y in appearance.

As to the atx/btx issue, drilling and tapping holes for standoffs isn't that big of a deal as long as you get them marked out properly.
