Any cases out there for a good price with 18 x 3.5" drive bays ?

As title, looking for an 18x3.5" drive bay large case for a home server - anything you guys know of? Even retro is fine - just after makes & model numbers.

Has 12 bays, but also looks like it can take another 10 in the form of 2 times 5x3.5inch internal caddies.

Fractal define 7/meshify xl, which can both take 18 drives but you'll need to buy more drive sleds iirc

Other than that the best I can think of would be the cases filled with 5.25 inch bays and caddies

For 18 drives, you probably want to be looking at server-grade gear, rather than consumer PCs.

Even my large coolermaster stacker has space for "only" 12 x 3.5" drives if used with several modules, so yeah looking for a massive server case.
