    Well, there are those slide in trays, which fit in a 5.25" bay and hold
    a drive. But by the time you've paid for one of those, you've pretty
    well covered the cost of another external drive case. If you're using
    USB to connect the drives, it's probably easiest to get more external
    drive cases.
