The PC Power & Cooling Solid Steel Tower has 10 bays, 8 external. If you pick up one of their 500W or redundent 420W power supplies and a couple of drive Y-s you should be able to connect everything. You'll also have to buy mounting kits for all the drives as well since all the bays are are 5.25". I haven't used those systems, but I own one of the mid towers and I'm quite happy with it. It's really solid with no rough edges or anything. http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/enclosures/professional/pro_towers/i= ndex.htm -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
