[ale] Three hard drives in two drive bays?

[Benjie]

California PC (calpc.com) makes a 3 drive  chassis that will fit into 2 half
height drive bays, but it is only for SCA drives.   I have seen similar 3
drive cages for SATA drives, but I haven't had any experience with them.  I
think you should be able to accomplish what you are attempting with 5.25 to
3.5 inch drive rails.  You should be able to find these at Fry's or
Microcenter.  ( they are the cheap ( $4-5) brass colored metal rails.
