Alright guys, I'm looking to do a little upgrading to my mobile RV system. Currently I'm using a 4 drive USB raid enclosure for my portable media storage for my RV system. The RV system is a Mini-ITX system and I'm looking to change the case so that I can move four, 3TB drives into the case, install Windows 8 and use the storage spaces to combine the drives to one large storage, then bring the entire system into the house to sync the media from my server. Currently I bring both the system and the USB enclosure inside so the media library can sync on the system after the USB enclosure has synced all the media. So I'd just like to cut out the middle man and only be bringing one thing inside.
So, that being said, does anybody know of any Mini-ITX cases which will hold at least four 3.5" drives? I want the case to be as small as possible due to space limitations in the RV.
I've found this case, which looks awesome and is pretty much the perfect size but, it's not made anymore, so if anybody knows something similar that would be great!

This case is also not bad and may be what I go with ultimately if there aren't better options out there:

The hot swap bays are not a requirement, just when searching those seemed to be the ones that came up the most.
Thanks for the help guys.
