I would use a Haf case, I have a Haf 912 low end of the line But it works and has a front fan 220mm one at the top 220mm a side 140mm and a rear 140. It can hold about 8 HD's plus has a special rack for an SSD. The 912 does the job but is not all that fancy. As for cooling I would use the Corsair, I have heard nothing but good things about it. The one in the image would have to go on top of the case. I would get the one that goes on the back of the case. It uses two fans in a push/pull type of mode. The fans except for the rear fan do not come with the case. I had to buy them extra. I got the ones with blue LEDS. I wanted the ones without the LEDS but they cost more. I just have the standard Intel heatsink/cooler and I have not had any heating problems.

It is a good thing I posted that link. I had the side fan exhausting instead of blowing air in.
