Digging this up...

I've beat Linus in number of drives inside this case:
4827 4829 4828

Still have space (and a port) for 1 more (for a total of 25 drives, 22 HDD + 3 SSD)

And since this is the review thread, I can confirm that this case has been GLORIOUS since I bought it. Best case I ever had, saw, built for anyone, touched, you name it. There is simply no better case (in my experience).

... but it's not for everyone. It's big, it's heavy, it's only for serious op builders.

I don’t know why there’s so much hate for the Fractal Define series, I recently replaced everything with the Define 7 Compact.

Very easy to take the sides off, very resistant to dust, easy to clean. In my experience the temps are very good too little over 30c with stock fans and my personal build loaded with Noctua fans is mostly sub 30c when idle.

Some of the best cases available in the market right now IMO.
