does anyone know of a 5-in-3 configuration like the below 3-in-2?

Closest I've seen are 4 in 3 devices, such as:

look at the "pimp my rig" thread in the lounge.  i think there are some units like that, pictured in there.

 

(i was going to point out the coolermaster 4 in 3 unit as the closest thing to what you want, but i was beaten to it by someone else)

 

cheers.

 

 

I have been planning on getting these once my 4in3's fill up. I just have to figure a way to mod in a fan.

All other 5in3's that I've found are way too expensive. Instead of paying 100 bucks or more for 5in3's, I would just go ahead and get this case, and use my current 4in3's.

You could fit a Pony Keg in that thing...

Ahhh, this is really nice.  I was about to make one from scrap sheet metal.  Thanks.

I am thinking about getting a 5in3 but when I do the measurements, it looks like it will be touching my MB when installed due to the size of the case and the MB inside.

 

Does any one know of a 5in3 that is not 'deep' inside the case? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Also anyone ever considered a diy removable case?

I bought one of these to put in my Antec 1200. The way it fit in requires you to mount a fan on the back, and leave the front uncovered. Since I am uncomfortable with this I have stuck with my Scythe 4 in 3s instead. I wish I would have just put money into really cheap Hot Swap backplates instead. Here are some cheap ones of those that popped up on the forum:

$80 instead of the Icy Dock $115ish, but has two small fans instead of one largish one.

Lian Li EX-34B are a 4-in-3 similar to the OP's product.

Any alternatives to this?:

I don't need a backplane/hot-swap since Unraid does not support it.

What I like:

Front door so drives are accessible from the front.

Drives slide in, no screws

Large/Quiet 120mm fan.

 

There seems to be some slight differences:

This one has switches to control the LED and Fan and also mentions that it only needs 2 power inputs.

 

Edit: I see...there are 2 versions, a hot-swap version with backplane and a plain cage. I guess the plain cage you would still need access to the back to connect power and data.

 

A 5 in 3 would be nice.

 

five year old thread... there are lots of 5-in-3 options now.

List some 5in3s with no backplane and front access....
