July 16, 201312 yr This is a fairly nice case with good reviews for those looking to support 12 hot-swap bays in a 4U chassis. Perhaps a sweet spot for a "Plus+" key to do 10+1+1 drives, but I digress. Says it supports E-ATX down to Mini-ITX. It's got a $30 rebate that is good till 7-25-2013 which brings the final price to $169.99 with free shipping. The chassis has 9x 5.25" bays that are filled with Rosewill 4x3 cages. The cages are removable/replaceable from what I gather in the reviews. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=11-147-165&Tpk=N82E16811147165
July 16, 201312 yr Seems like a great deal, given that the three 3x5.25 modules can be removed and re-purposed.

September 25, 201411 yr Has anyone successfully rack mounted one of these with out issue? I am going back and forth between this and a Norco unit, but I have seen a ton of comments over the past couple years on 4U Rosewill Server cases having issues fitting in a standard rack. Some say they hack up the handles to make it work, but that is less than ideal.
