Drive cage

I'm looking for a drive cage that will use 3x 5.25" bays to house 4 or more 3.5" hard drives. So far, I've found these models:

Lian-Li EX-34
Cooler Master 4-in-3

Can anyone confirm whether or not these can be used in any case? Are there any others that I've missed? I intend to use it in an Addtronics WTX8500, and I am not looking for a hot swap enclosure.

Thanks in advance!
 
I have two Supermicro 5-in-3 enclosures, and they are great. Sturdy, and thus very heavy, especially when loaded with hard drives. My case uses drive rails, and I didn't have any problems installing. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the ones you listed though, but maybe this will help some... 🙂
 
Both will fit almost all computers - initially the LL 34 didn't but they claim it is now compatible with most, so be sure you get one of the latest production. Read my overview of all the cages that I'm aware of Here. It concentrates on the CM as it was the one I had in hand and was using in a non-CM case, but gives insight into the others as well and the rationale for choosing one over another.
