Hi Roberto,
Looking at those cases I can see why my solution wouldn't be any good 
for your situation! I am only using dirt-cheap cases here with no fancy 
features, no cover doors etc., so the removable drawers are an ideal 
solution for me. Basically I have multiple bootable partitions on 
different platforms [OS/2-eCS/Linux/WIN/Novell] on each drive fitted.
