I'm currently using a full-tower with 3x 5.25" bays. The space for all 3 is being used up. Two for optical drives I admittedly rarely need, but hey I carried them over from previous systems (or rather, they stayed in the case as I continued to put newer systems in the same case). And the space for the top bay is being occupied by the end of a 360mm radiator.
