I'm currently designing one for using 140mm fans, which is probably going to be the design I go with in the end. Due to the case being designed for using 140mm fans, the size has increased.

I think the case would have to be transported disassembled, if I were to make another batch of parts. I'd be more than willing to share the specs, if anybody is interested, once it is done.

Update:

Here is where I'm at with the 140mm fan version.



The main hard drive compartment section is basically two wind tunnels with a 140mm fan at one end and hexagonal mesh at the openings. The front panel will have a opening with hexagonal mesh with two 140mm fans blowing air in. Like in the earlier sketch, six additional hard drives can be mounted just behind the two fans in the upper compartment. The DVD-drive will be placed above the fans and I'll probably do something like what's described in this guide to hide the DVD-drive.

I'd love to get a Bulgin Illuminated Vandal Resistant switch for the power button, but they're expensive considering the purpose (15-20€).

EDIT:

Further update.



EDIT:

Further update, again.
