I love the Norco 4220.
Link for those that need to see it:

Does anyone know of any cases that provide the same setup and drive bay count but does not have the hot swap and backplane?

I'm looking for a 20 drive case that I can screw in all of the drives and not deal with drive caddies etc.

I've searched hard forum, google, and the like for something but only come up with tower cases that have nine drive bays and then you need the 4x3 converters.

Thanks for the research help!
 
Whats wrong with just getting a nine x 5.25" bay case with a 4in3 caddies?

Are you trying to find something cheaper than the Norco that fits your needs?
 
I'm pretty sure the whole reason that the Norco 4020 and then 4220 have been so popular is *because* there's pretty much nothing else out there that will let you mount 20 drives for around $300, hot swap or otherwise.

I'm also not sure what the hang up is about screwing drives into caddies, but in any case no you're not going to find something for the same pricepoint, whether hotswap or not. Manufacturers design products that more than 1 person are going to want to buy, and nearly nobody would want to buy a case with 20 bays that don't hotswap.
