Would this case make a decent server case?

Xion Case

I plan on putting 5+ harddrives in it along with a single DVD drive and the rest of the guts. I do not need anything fancy looking, although I prefer that the case is sturdy and black in color. Also, the 500 GB drives I have are temperature sensative (Seagate 500GB Sata II). They tend to shut down if they get too warm and don't have a fan directly on them. As far as price, I do not want to spend more than $150, although less is better. Any recommendations if this one isn't the case you'd choose? I definately want something with room to add more harddrives later. Thanks.

Antec Titan 550 - that's the best price I've found for that case and it includes a TruePower 2.0 550W ATX12V v2.0 and EPS12V power supply.

Actually went with a NZXT Zero case. Absolutely quiet case even with 8 fans going. Keeps my FX-60 server running around 24-26 C on idle, and around 40C on load. The Norbridge idles around 35C and 45 on full load. Great case with plenty of room and is study. I wrote a review on it when they had it on the front page, but i would recommend it to anyone for a server case, or a water cooling case.
