Future storage ideas/rack question

[kalniel]

With SSDs becoming all fine and sparkly, I was thinking up ways of integrating them into a typical desktop case.

I'd seen two solutions before - use a cheap metal bracket to fit a 2.5 drive to a 3.5 bay, or use a 3.5 caddy system.

But how about using one of these?:

It would be well neat to have 4 drives just in one 5.25 bay. As far as I can see most 2.5 SSDs have bottom screw mounts so should be compatible. Question is, can you fit a 5.25 rack drive into a 5.25 ATX drive bay?

Maybe a bit pricey too, but looks cool IMHO.

I expect a lot of SSD drive bays to start appearing once the SSDs themselves become more common place.

I can't wait to see how many will be able to fit in 3 x 5.25" drive bays

Well at least 12 if you allow room for active cooling (using the bays I linked), without cooling.. who knows?!
