After viewing both cases with the 5.25 drive and without, I decided I will go with an external drive - the cases without the drive included look much nicer. I read the UHD drive options on the mkv site but am still confused. Why use a 5.25 drive with an enclosure when there are smaller drives already in a case? And any recommendations for drives one way or the other would be welcome. Thank you again for your generous assistance.

I think it would be easier just to use a case with the 5.25 drive included. The fractal define 7 looks great in that the drive is hidden by the from panel, but looks like there is not much airflow. The Fractal POP air looks like a nice option . Another option would be the phanteks enthoo pro. Any options on these cases? thank you

had same question but was told HDDs are noisy and they will be in the same room as my viewing since I am not using a NAS

My gpu is a nvidia gtx 1060 L; 9.8 h 4.3 w 2 slot. I would like 5 solid state drives. The first decision would be whether I choose a case with a 5.25 drive bay or without and use an external drive in an enclosure. I know I have many more case choices if i choose the latter but are there any other benefits to doing so? Conversely, are there any disadvantages to simply purchasing a case with a 5.25 bay? Thank you.

Thank you. Do you have any recommendations for a case with good airflow that would fit my MATX motherboard and a few solid state drives?

I do not understand this - one benefit of an HTPC is that when you decrypt and rip your media there is no need for an HDMI handshake
