Cases are cheap.  Buy a new case with plenty of bays and cooling:

8 x 3.5" internal bays w/drive rails, 3 x 5.25" external bays, excellent
cooling, $80 USD, reuse your current PSU and internals, grab a new PSU
if needed to handle all the drives.

If you start running out of 3.5" internal bays start adding these to
your 5.25" bays:

With current 2.5" drives you can get up to 12TB raw in the 3 5.25" bays
on top of the 24TB raw available with the 8 3.5" bays, 36TB total.
