Yep - the company I work for is a manufacturing company, and as such has
a complete metal shop in the back. We ripped out the guts of a full
tower case and had one of the metalworkers put together a vertical
bracket that allowed us to triple the amount of drives we could fit in
the case.
It originally had some ridiculous number of 5.25" drive bays. After
that bracketing was ripped out, and our custom bracket rivetted in, we
ran 12 disks for a long damn time.
Funny things happen over time though - our 120G array of IBM 16G
deskstars was easily replaced by two disks, LOL.
