Need some advice on a new case/build....

In one of my past builds i used Thermaltake V3 BlacX Edition that had a 2.5/3.5" SATA docking station built into the top of the case. I found that feature was very useful and would like to include something similar in my next build. Problem is that I wasnt happy with the V3 build quality and would like something like a Lian-Li case and add a 5.25 bay enclosure that has the same sata docking function.

I found things similar to this:

But they all take 2 SATA ports instead of one. I was looking for and hoping to find something similar to the v3 whereby the dock aligns the drive to SATA connections based on size.

I know there are tons of USB docking stations but i want something in a 5.25 drive bay.

Any advice or product recommendations are greatly appreciated. I want to find a solution that doesnt lock me into a specific case...
