Mounting cage for 3.5" drives in 5.25" enclosure?

My question isn't exactly how you think it is. Currently to my knowledge they have adapters that allow you to stick 1 3.5" drive in a 5.25" bay. What I was wondering is if there is a cage type system like on modern cases where you can remove a stack of HDDs usually placed at the bottom of the case that can be used in 5.25" drive bays? So if I have like 5 5.25" drive bays, I could instead of fitting 5 3.5" drives, fit more like 8 drives...

Logic being that 5.25" drives are 1.625" tall while 3.5" drives are only 1" tall. In that same space, you could potentially fit 8 drives instead of 5 that are mounted in a standard fashion..
 
Thanks, turns out the first link isn't any good, I mean the link works but that device doesn't add more drives into the space than it should.
