Take a look at my build. It is very similar: I wpould like to note, from my build experiences, that it would be practically difficult to fit 3 SSDs and 10 hard drives into the thing. It is my opinion that any 3.5 drive beyond the first 8 might risk being inadequately cooled. If you want that many drives, another case might be better. If I had built my box today; I would have gone with the Silverstone cs380, added a 3 in 2 drive adapter for an adtional3 drives, install my os on a SATA DOM, and gone raid Z3.

Well after looking at some video builds and reviews of the Fractal Design Node 804 I have decided to use the Rosewill RSV-L4412 case it should make a easier build.
