Cooler Master Stacker STC-T01: Any opinions?

Ok guys, here's the deal.

I need to pick up a good full tower case for a customer to build a server. He hasn't quite got the full specs down yet (most likely an Intel server for stability reasons... errr um.. guy has bitchy bosses ), but from what I've been told it will have a full array of hot swappable or at the very least removable SCSI drives (more than likely in a RAID setup). Now, I'm tired of selling Starmounts ugly as hell 9-12 bay server cases (and AOpens 800 series too), so I thought I'd look elsewhere this time, and I've got my eye on this one from Cooler Master: the Cooler Master Stacker STC-T01 full tower case. The 2 moust obvious reasons I picked this is that you can buy 5.25" hard drive inserts that have a 120mm fan attached to it, and that would allow you to cool 3 hard drives, at the cost of 1 bay. Fair enough, but the thing that stands out the most about this case is the fact that it supports 2 PSUs in the one chasis. This would be perfect as it would balance the drive load rather than be a drain on one PSU. I can pick this puppy up for about $160-$175 not including the drive inserts. As I said the details for the server are still being worked out, but this case just seems to be perfect (not to mention that it should impress the hell outta them).

Suggestions? Opinions?

The Stacker is indeed a great case if you like space, and don't mind the weight, I sure as hell love mine

It does indeed look like the ideal case for a "big" system. I have a fetish for the TT and Lian Li, but neither of them would fit what you're looking for, I don't think
