Help me pick the best 4U case for Unraid server

Help

I'm in the market to build a new Unraid server. I've been hung up on what case to buy. My requirements:

  • Rack mount 4U to allow full-height PCIe cards
  • Fits standard ATX motherboard
  • Uses standard ATX power supply (no 1u supplies as they are too loud)
  • 4x 3.5" hot-swap SATA bays (a few more would be nice)
  • 2x hot-swap 2.5" U.2 NVMe bays (preferably 4x)
  • Reasonably priced!

My old server uses a Silverstone RM21-308 that has been fantastic. I have more rack space now so I'd like to expand to 4U and regular ATX.

The best option I've found is a Silverstone RM41-H08 + Icydock for NVMe Hotswap bays. This ends up pretty pricey at about $750. What are other good options?
