>>internal cage 'extension' PC Power and Cooling offers (offered several months ago, anyhow) an extension to the internal drive cage of their mid tower. I can't recall whether I asked them if they'd sell the extension as a part or not. It wasn't clear I could use it in my case at the time I was looking into it, and whether I actually asked them or merely considered, dunno. Lost in the mind sludge. What the heck; six pieces of an erector set and you got it (three on each side arranged \|\\|). Even if they don't sell Erector Sets anymore (dunno that either, but a pity if not), they sell flat iron with holes at the hardware store. I must look into that erector set question. When I was seven I learned all about mechanical advantage and leverage with an erector set that included a tiny electric motor. I built a pulley arrangement that was able to lift an end of the piano. My mother was not quite as proud of the achivement as I was, though conceivably her reaction was influence by the big hook bracket I attached to the piano. Anyhow, the outcome is probably why I ended up in software instead of mechanical engineering. Figured there was no future in it ... Spots
