Can I find a HDD-only case?

Good evening, everybody.

This is my first posting in the forum. Hope there will be a lot more.

I need to expand the space of my existing computer case, in order to accomodate more HDDs.

I was thinking of building a separate box, to be placed on top of the exisiting case, in which I was intending to put about 9 to 10 HDDs. Is there anything in the market? Or is there anyone making this as a custom order?

Before anybody asks, the following have been taken into consideration:

1) The PSU is an ETASIS 750, big enough to accept the extra HDDs
2) Extension Power cables with the common 4-pin female+male jacks are already made, ready to power the extra HDDs
3) Same is the case with the required 1-metre SATA cables, which run from the SATA/RAID controller card to the extra HDDs
4) I need this box to accomodate two 120mm cooling fans, one blowing-in at front and another blowing-out at back.

Any ideas, infos are welcome.

Thanks

I dont know of anywhere you can got this, but it shouldn't be too hard to put one together yourself, even if its just by modding an old el cheapo case

You can get them, but it's cheaper to modify an existing case.
The one I have only takes 5x5.25 devices by default.

PS read the FAQ regarding competitors.

Thanks both of you.

I am probably going to modify an old case. Sure it's gonna take some work, but I believe that it wil give me what I am looking for.
