    As long as I have a dremel and a set of files I have a virtually infinite number of drive bays, but generally i use 2 for my cd-rw's.

    You should buy stock in western digital, or whatever drives you're using.

    Atm, all three of the three available in my Sonata. Housing a DVD, CDRW, and my Live! Drive.

    CDRW's b0rked, and DVD drive is dead old, so hoping to replace them both with a black Sony DVDRW at some point. Then spray the Live! Drive.

    Right now, 3, in the future, 6 or maybe even more.

    CD-RW, CD-Rom (hopefully dvd later), exhaust vent to keep the RW cool(go positive pressure), Panel with lights and switches, panel with fan controller, and maybe even an audigy drive later or a Matrix Orbital.

    5 or 6, with a combination like this, i think yea

    - DVD Rewriter / Drive
    - CD Rewriter (or DVD combi)
    - 2 bays for an MO or VFD
    - A baybus or 2, or mebbe even a reservoir but ihmo they don't look too good unless in transparent cases :hip:

    Really depends on what's being put inside it.

    I have everything from 1 to 7 in my full tower.
    The majority of mine though have four 5-1/4" externally accessable bays.
