1U 8x3.5" HDD server case?

[vecctor]

Does anyone know where I could get a 1U rackmount case that holds 8+ 3.5" HDDs?

I've found full systems that can do it, but not an empty case.

Seagate makes a NAS with this configuration - fits dual PSU, microATX mobo, and 8 drives:

Supermicro makes one with 12:

But both those are full systems, and I'd like to throw in my own hardware instead.

Does it have to be rackmount?
The U-Nas NSC-800 is 8 hotswap drives, mini itx support, 1 expansion full size expansion slot.

You have to add your own 1u PSU.
It's a pretty nice kit IMO.

That is a nice little box - great for a home media server.

But yeah rackmount is needed. Basically the only thing keeping this 2U build from being a 1U build is that it has 6 hard drives and most 1U cases only hold 4. I'm planning on collocating it, so smaller is (usually) cheaper.
