why not just Y and extend some power cables from the machine
into the case with the additional drives? why make it harder
than it has to be? this is what i did when i built the smoked
plexiglass case for my "external" drives... those were 4
fullheight and two halfheight drives outside the 286/12 case and
two halfheights inside the 286/12 case... yes, 8 hard drives,
and RLL at that complete with lights winking, blinking and
visible behind the smoked plexiglass >
