    Addon HDD bay

    Hi,

    I have an Antec P182 case, and all the HDD bays are already full.
    There is only one DVD Drive, so still space left.
    Is there some kind of addon bay for the 5.25 area.
    I don't want to have one of these with removable front, which can be locked etc.
    I just want one for inside.

    Anybody knows of such a thing?

    Sorry for the bad explanation

    Those are useful, from a while back I have the Thermaltake iCage (3x3.5 in 3x5.25) with 120 blue fan which is similar item. A little cheaper and gives a bit more airflow around each disk, depends if you need 3 or 4 drives really.
