Another solution is a low profile PC-Clone case.  They hold about three
half height devices or ine half height and one full height.  Actually
more since you dont have a PC-motherboard or interface cards in there,
just need to drill mounting holes.

They can be had for about $90 around here and that is with a 150-200 watt
power supply.
