Anyone know if you can buy drive cages by themselves? I've googled, but couldn't find anything. Big ups to anyone who can help me out.

For which case? Drive cages are usually case specific. Unless you mean something to go in a 5.25" slot to use as a HD bay... Then there are quite a few options. Coolermaster's Cool Drive 4 is a good one.
 
The major case manufacturers can probably accomodate you. If you have a crappy store bought box (ie Compaq) like I do, I added a cage below the factory 3.5 cage. This allowed me to separate the HDDs be a couple of inches. Added an front intake fan blowing over the cage to maintain sufficient airflow.
 
You can get drive cages that can be mounted in most machines from Evercase. They are the same ones that fit most of the 42x2 (4252, 4292, etc.) series. You just need to drill two holes to mount their bases (might even be able to use industrial mounting tape). They have optional rubber drive isolators too, so don't forget to order a set of those with each cage you buy.
. Chenbro also has add-on cages for some of their cases but I don't know if they are as generically useful as the ones from Evercase.
