the rack case i have holds 10 http://www.xcase.co.uk/X-Case-RM-400...-fslash-10.htm
this does 50 http://www.xcase.co.uk/category-s/88.htm
Lol the 10 one is ok priced but the other is out of my league. No other cases like tower ones for around that £100 price mark that hold more than 10?
Or something cheaper
Sharkoon rebel 12, takes 6 hdd's inside, but the 9 of the 11 5.25" bays can be converted eaisly with drive cages

+ 3 of these

So that's 18 HDDs
Thanks Pob255! 18 is impressive....
I've not seen any. but you could buy two of the cheaper rack ones and make them one case just drill a hole through the top one for the sata power cables to go through for an extra 10 hdds.Quote:

Depending on the size of your current drives would it be better to migrate to larger drives instead? You could then also sell your old drives to recoup some of that cost. You could even do it in stages.
Looked for secondhand coolermaster stackers! Wonderful cases, especially for that purpose.
do want! :(Quote:

Thanks, I might have to invest in one.
Thanks for the replies guys. Definetly going to check out the sharkoon but need to see what cooling is like.
I have an Akasa case with 11 5.25" bays, 3x 5-in-3 cages and a 3-in-2 cage. The cages are the IcyDock ones from Scan.
Very tempted with the Rebel 12 as I could either put an optical drive in there or another 5-in-3 cage. It also has a power button on the side, where with the Akasa one I have right now I'm using an external power button.
