Thanks. I will try it out either this weekend or next weekend.

You guys have some really nice rigs =p. I had a question for some of you DIYers if you don't mind because I do not really mod cases myself. I saw that bjp999 and smino made their own custom rack and cage. I was wondering what kind of spacing do you need to have between drives. They need to be cooled correctly right. I currently have an Antec 300 and my case is full. I do not want to buy a new case right now and I only want to add 1-3 more drives to it. I was planning to make the lower cage of the case hold more drives. I was just planning to drill new sets of holes and remove the semi-tray inside the bottom half (cannot be seen). The only cooling they will get are the 2 120mm fans that I currently have. I attached a pic of the case so you guys get an idea of what I am talking about. What kind of spacing between the hard drives can you suggest I can use? Can I just tightly pack the hard drives as long as they are not touching? I currently measured 11.5". So I was thinking 1/4" space for top and bottom. Hard drives about 1" each. [11.5 - 2*(1/4)] / [1+x] = # of drives. x- spacing between drives. @1/4" spacing I can make it go from 6->8-9 drives Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.
