5 disk drive bay converter

[GoChris]

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced drive bay converter that will hold 5 hard drives?

Kinda ran out of room in my case and would consider swapping out one or two of these that I have now for a 5 disk version. Only ones I've found are like $90. Which would be stupid as I could just buy a bigger case for that.

I have a couple of ThermalTake iCages (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX8550).

Memory Express has limited stock but you might be able to find one. They're not bad for $20.

I wouldn’t go over 3 drives in a 5.25 because cooling becomes an issue.

Ya I might just have to look for a bigger case. :(

Cooling isn't a huge concern as the drives are spun down most of the time. They only spin up when accessed which isn't terribly often.

The price of cases really jumps if you want over 6 internal 3.5 bays... :cry:

Well even if it had a few internal AND nine 5.25" bays as I have three 3 bay expanders already.
