Recommend me a case for a small "stylish" homeserver

Hi all, I will be putting together a new small homeserver at some point later this year, but I'm having trouble finding a case that would meet my requirements.

- Preferably MicroATX sized, but ATX will do.
- 6-8 easily changeable 3.5" HDD slots, preferably those that you can just "pull out" like "hotswap style" without needing to use screws while the hdd is inside the case.
- Real exterior hotswap would be a big big plus, something like those 4 in the HP ProLiant Microserver Gen8
- As small as possible, but big enough to allow appropriate cooling and a few PCI-E expansion cards
- Extreme cooling is not required, since this one is supposed to be a minimalistic low-power server, used mainly as a fileserver.

I could recommend a lot of smallish boxes for home servers, but I cant think of any that have that many hotswap bays without looking at dedicated server (ie 19" cases) with anything like that short of a custom built unit.
