resending without html.  Lovely that you seem to have to disable html
on each reply.

 I found an $80 rackmount case that has 2 sets of 3x5.25" bays and
would take 2 of the  4 into 3 3.5" hot swap bays (icy dock or athena
like devices).

 Outside of that one I did not see much that had 6 external 5.25"
slots and did not cost a huge amount.   The above is empty, no fans,
no PS.

 I have an old ThermalKing M9 that has 9-5.25" external bays and I
have 3 of the 4 into 3's in it giving me 12 usable hot swap 3.5"
drives, but that case appears to no longer be made, and I seem to
remember when I bought it I only found maybe 3 cases similar to it and
a couple of them were 2x the price.

 Now it appears that the most important feature of a case is having
way too many colorful lighted fans.
