Are there any cases that have a lot of removable drive bays in the front?

[zephyrprime]

I'm looking for a case that has a lot of built in removable drive bays on the front for hard drives. Is there anything like this outside of rack mount cases? I tried looking online but I couldn't find any good pictures.

A new coolermaster case has some and you can buy hot-swap or non-hot-swap cages to fit most cases with lots of 5" drive bays like the Stacker, etc. Not hard to find pix of the cages if you know what to search for. Chenbro et al. make lots of server cases with any number of drive cage configurations.

Do you need them to be hot-swappable, or just removeable?

I've seen the add-on cases but they're kinda pricey so I was wondering if there just might be a case with them built in. I currently have some individual removable drive bays but again buy a lot of those gets expensive.

All of the above are hot swap able.

hehehehe. I wonder how many I could fit in my case.... My case. I could hold 4 3-in-5 SATA enclosures, and still have 3 5.25" bays free.. . Man that would be fun.

You need to tell us what you mean by "a lot". Any case with a significant number of removeable drives is going to be expensive. Three hundred and up is typical for a case with 8 or 10 hot-swappable bays.
