Oops, got carried away with follies and forgot the serious answer. I've
got a 4U rack case that has a six-drive internal bay and three 5 1/4"
"half height" bays.  Oh and I think there's a 3 1/2" bay there, too. 
Norco RPC-910 I got from Newegg for a bit over $100 delivered.  Pretty
nicely made except for that one chassis screw I had to grind down to
get it not to bind the slide-off cover plate.
