Does anyone know where I can get an adapter to turn 3 5-1/4" drive bays into 5 3.5" drive bays?

That only gets me three bays. Some simple work with a tape measure shows I should be able to get at least five bays, and possibly six.

Again, that only gets me three bays.

You can only get them in 3. Other wise just buy two of them.

My bad... misread the 3 5.25 inch bays to 5 3.5inch bays. You can do what you want with a hot swap hdd cage.

check out the wegotserved website. They just did a round up of bay adaptors. If I remember correctly most of them were four bay but good reading none the less.
