Hello, I am Zach. I have an HP (ugh) computer, that is OK and has given me little problems. However, I installed a second hard drive, and the [bleep] thing doesn't have room in the case for the second HD! Right now I have it rigged so they are both sitting outside the case with a fan blowing over them. I am looking for a new case, but in my search I have encountered a problem. You see, the HP has memory card slots on the front, as well as USB ports and a firewire port. I am looking for a case (aesthetics don't matter to me as much as functionibility, but a flashy one will do) and a case that has a decent sized power supply, lots of fans (it is an AMD) and obviously the capability to store a second hard drive.
Now, a server case would be fine, but it MUST have the ability for the card reader. I am thinking of running a RAID setup sometime in the future. THanks for your guys' help!

Hi Zach

I have good news & potentially bad news for you.
The good news is I have found something that fits your requirements. Its a 4 bay tower case with front USB & Firewire ports. It has a funky side window & is really cheap (if you live in England). See link below :

It has no card reader but you can buy ones that fit in one of the spare bays seperately. See link below :

Now the bad news possibly.
I don't know about your particular machine but a lot of these big brand systems, like HP & Dell etc, have a tendency to build their machines using slightly non-standard motherboards. This can affect any one or more things such as the form factor (ie whether it fits in a standard ATX case or not), the front panel buttons & connectors, the PSU and so on.

With any luck, you won't have a major problem but I thought I'd better warn you to check these things out first.
