I thought this was cool.

On page 7 is a review of the HD25-S from Upgradeware that uses a standard PCI slot to power a 2.5 inch sata drive and a Sata cable for data access. The drive is mounted onto the PCI Card, and the first thing I thought was toss a couple of these into a Shuttle case, and use the extra room from the HDD cage for a Res or something, hell, maybe you just want more room in a small case and since 2.5 inch drives really don't run too hot, no active cooling is really needed.

:) Have fun with the ideas people!

Cool find. That quad raid drive is a pretty good idea. It is too bad that the sata cables aren't removable though.
