i'm looking to get the Minion4000B @ www.coolcases.com but it doesn't have enough internal 3.5" bays

does anyone know if its possible to add mor bays, maybe by attaching another rack to what is already there?

also does anyone know a place where i can get the hardware neccessary to add the bays.. i'fe tried a couple of sites that carry lots of odds and ends like Cyberguys, but they dont know of anywhere to get the stuff i want

thanks for any ideas ya'll have

Well.... what i do is stack the drives on the bottom of the case (with index cards under them so as not to short out any circuitry on the bottom of the drive. If the bottom of the case is too low for the cable to reach, i use books to lift the drive up to an apropriate level... Never had a problem.

why not just make the extra bays yourself
head down to the local hardware store and you should be able to find all you need
cant be that hard

You might want to pick up a few 3.5 HD kits, also available at coolcases.com, so you can mount drives in the 5.25 bays.
