This looks like an interesting case, lots and lots of drive bays...

and it looks like it even has USB3 on the front.
Looks like a USB3 update of the case I'm using. It's basically a
9x5.25"-bay case with three 3x5.25" -> 5x3.5" adapters. The adapters
it comes with aren't hotswap capable, but it's easy to pull them out
and replace them with ones that are.
Can we make it a desktop case? I mean, remove the dog ear extension for
rack mounting?
BTW, there is also a hot swap bay version, but only has 12 bays.
