Mini-itx with 5x2.5 bays?

[Superjoe]

Looking for something like this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112339

But with 2.5 bays to make it as small as possible for a mini server. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'd say either use adapters to convert 2.5" drives to 3.5", or use something like this with any case with at least one 5.25" bay.

Won't get you to 5 on their own, but might help. You could use them in a case like the M350 that has multiple options for mounting drives overhead. Paired with a DQ77KB with a super-low-profile cooler and mSATA for the OS drive, that could work.

Or you might be able to fit a standard Mini-ITX and four drives in a Casetronic C292. You'd probably still want something with mSATA for the fifth drive: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/desktops/desktop-board-dh77df-media-brief.html

You'll definitely want to stick to one of the T-series processors at 35w in those small cases.
