I used an 8 by external from PC-PITSTOP in the states. They also do 5 bay units but the freight is a bit harch. It came with two sata multilane connectors and cables to link to the main PC.

You could just use any case that will take the drives and use multilane to connect it to your MC.

The multilane basically combines 4x SATA into one cable through a PCI slot cover.

This would allow the drives to be directly connected to your MC as if they were in the case. Downside is that the new case needs to be very close (i.e. next to) your MC.
