Trying to locate a SATA backplane/cage/carrier for this old chassis may
be the proverbial needle in a haystack search. Your best option here
would likely be a new 8-bay SATA hot swap chassis and PSU, such as:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219024
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EMACS-2U-460W-EPS12V-24-Pin-Power-Supply-P2G-6460P-/120995054350?pt=US_Server_Power_Supplies&hash=item1c2bde030e
If your current chassis is 2U you should be able to swap the PSU over.
Slim optical drives are pretty cheap if you need an optical drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151242
Used on Ebay they're about half that price, but I'd avoid used optical
drives, for obvious reasons, especially slim models.

You're welcome. Always glad to help with hardware. Note my email
