MATX case but for 24 drives

[pyropetepete]

Need a MATX case, something nice but to fit 24 drives in there!

Ideas?

24 drives wow what are you using it for to power nasa i dont think there is any cases that can support 24 hard drives

Dream on, your best chance it a custom build.
The market for small cases that take 24 drives is far too niche.

I do not even know any standard atx cases that would take 24 drives.

Mobo is MATX

Have 24 drives, 2 8 ports raid cards and mobo runs 8 drives

I can make 5 x 3..5 drives fit within 3 x 5.25 and can use hotswap bays

CPU is AMD A4-5300 3.4GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Processor
Mobo is GIGABYTE GA-F2A85XM-HD3 AMD A85X
Raid card is LSI/IBM M1015 http://www.scsi4me.com/images/IBM-M1015.jpg

On page says:
Motherboard: HPTX / EATX / ATX / Micro-ATX

It would hold the other drives in the 5.25". You can buy hot swap caddies which could easily add the remaining drives you need.

Not going to happen.

Yeah, good luck with that! 24 3.5" drives on their own stacked on top of each other is 1ft of space alone, that's 75% the internal size of most big mATX cases. that's not even allowing for any space between the drives.

If you want to fit 24 drives, it's either a big tower case or a rackmount 4u case that you'll need.
