Thanks.  A couple of those controllers seem viable.  Any thoughts on how to stash three disks in my 8100 case?

The hard drive bracket will support 2 hard drives.  Then get a pair of 3.5 to 5.25 bay adapter brackets & mount the 3rd HDD in the 3rd Optical bay sled.

Just wondering, is there any way to 'stash' 10 hard drives in a dell XPS case? even 8? considering theres only 3 3.5" slots and 3 5.25" slots.......and 2 of the 5.25" slots are taken up by DVD rom etc... so im out 2 more spaces......

oh, and by the way if your wondering where im connecting the 10 hard drives to, the two EIDE cable inputs on the motherboard, 2 SATA interfaces on the motherboard, and the 2 sata and 1EIDE inputs on a promise card........

I would probably be screwing up my voltages way too much aswell eh?

Thanks for the infor in advance!

i believe they call what you want a "server" 10 hdd's thats intense. they won't fit in the case and how would you plug them all in? (using a bunch of splitters just wont work to well)  also obviously you could take the dvd drive and whatever else out as you would have no where to plug them in. (remember youre using all your ide cables to connect the hdd's) yeah 10 hdds thats a lot.
