Hi I'm sorry my inexperience. I'd like to assemble a new PC with Edius NX PCIExpress with Bay for connections, one HD for OS, two HDs in RAID0 for saved projects and two HDs in RAID0 for capturing editing files.
My dealer asks me if I like Thermaltake Matrix VX or Coolermaster Centurions case, both are black. I like black. But I think they are middle Towers, in your opinion is it better to purchase a Tower or middle Tower?
Thanks for your advice, Adriano
 
Really depends on how much stuff you're going to put in there. Airflow in any system is key. The more drives you put in, the bigger the power supply you'll need, the hotter your system will get, and the better the airflow will need to be to keep things cool.

For many-drive machines I prefer the Cooler Master Stacker cases. For more general-purpose machines I like Antec's Performance One and Lifestyle series.

Yes I understand you but I like to know if I assembre a PC with one processor, Edius NX PCIExpress with Extension module, Bay for connections, one HD for OS, two HDs in RAID0 for saved projects and two HDs in RAID0 for capturing editing files, I will need a full tower or it is sufficient a middle tower.
thanks
 
A mid-tower will be cramped for 5 hard drives. Not to mention the stock power supply in most mid-towers will be insufficient to run all of that reliably.

I would go with a full tower.
