I have an XT clone with 1 full-height disk and 2 half-height (HH) drives.  
I'd like to add a 3.5" floppy drive without discarding one of the HH 
devices.

Does anyone know where I can get a case that will allow me to install
my old 150W power supply (IBM style with side switch), my PC/XT sized
motherboard and 5 (or more) HH devices?  

 * I've seen several baby-AT cases which will hold a 3.5" hard drive, 3 HH
   devices, and a 3.5" floppy turned on its side.  Unfortunately this won't 
   hold the full-height disk AND the 2 HH drives.

 * I've also seen several full-size AT cases which would hold six HH devices, 
   but my motherboard or power supply won't mount properly.

Any information (model, manufacturer, etc.) including where to buy them
(local, mail order, etc.) for someone on a very tight budget would be very
helpful.

Please email to me directly.

THANKS!!!
