I have selected this case, I think:

Coolermaster Stacker:

http://www.coolermaster.com/index.php?LT=english&Language_s=2&url_place=product_list&p_class=363

But I want to know of other suggestions as well.

The configuration of the stacker that I want is with 2pcs. 4in3 modules
holding 7 hard drives (potentially) and 1 floppy, a crossflow fan, and the
window.

What I want in a case is this:

Full roomy tower, strong, no burrs to cut my hands, lots of places for fans
so I can run them slow on fan controls, 6 locations of 5.25" bays (will
live with 5 locations, but not 4, case MUST have at least space for 5),
room for at least 6 hard drives, space for 1 flopppy. Front hard drive fan
space, rear fan space, prefer top case fans (blow hole best), window
available.

It seems that the above list is very hard to get, due to stupidity of case
makers or something, lack of demand??? (I doubt it.)

The Stacker is the closest that I have been able to find, someone helped me
find it.

I am using the Raidmax 668WBP from NewEgg and have had no problems with
it. It has the 5 5.25" bays in front along with 2 3.5" bays and has
trays to hold another 5 3.5" drives. It has two front, two rear, one
top blow hole, and one side 80mm fans. All the fans are variable speed
controlled by temperature. It is made out of aluminum and has full
size side window. All drives are mounted on rails with the 5 internal
drives trays that snap into the cage. There is plenty of air space
around the internal drives.
I know that you specified 6 3.25 drives but I assume you can use one of
the external bays for the sixth drive.

I am using an Addtronics 7890A server case and like it a lot. It has 7
external 5.25" bays and 1 3.5" floppy bay. Lots of room for extra
harddrives, etc. It's a bit pricey, but it is well made, has ample
cooling and is easy to work with. Have a look:

I bought a Dragon Ultra from TrigerDirect. With rebated it was only
$30.00 and I found the case very easy to set up with multiple fan
placements. I'm very happy.
