Ran out of space on my Micro-ATX case. I do not want to switch to a full size tower so I'm looking at some alternatives if there is even any.
I even tried to convert my 5.25 to 3.5 but the adapter I bought blows and does not even work so my new hard drive is just un-mounted which probably is not a good idea.
Are there any budget 2-4bay + external enclosures? They all seem to run pretty high price.
I don't have e-sata at the moment, nothing a pci card can't fix. I'm looking for a e-sata one rather then a usb2.0 one as well. My motherboard only has 4 sata connections. Already ran out of power connections as well.
The last one Spork posted was fine but it seems it has no kind of standalone power (power wire also has to come out of the case to connect to this?).
Seems like cheapest choice is to upgrade to a full atx case. Dangit.

Why would he want expansion slots when he has a full Micro-ATX case?
Oops. Maybe I misunderstood.
I thought he had some free 5.25 bays and needed more HD bays since he said he tried to use an adapter. The link were to some 2 x 5.25 = 3 HD bay adapters (w/ built in fan) if he wants to keep the case and just get more drive bays.
Oh I wasn't looking for another actual hard drive. Not sure if you are asking the size of the drive itself in diameter or the space of the hard drive. It's 1 36gb raptor and 2 WD TB drives.
Budget hard drive external 2-4bay?
