[GLLUG] Hotswap cage question

Hey guys!

My server has an interesting setup right now. The drives are sitting 
down in the 3.5" bays on top of one another since I don't have the rails 
for them. I wanna get a hotswap drive cage (4 drives preferred), but 
I've got an issue.

The 5.25" bays have removable plates, obviously, and I've removed the 
CD-ROM drive so I have the extra bay available. The problem being when 
those plates are removed, there are small plastic rails sectioning the 
bays off. Not completely avoiding the idea of just cutting those off, I 
would like to find a hotswap drive cage with slots between each bay, and 
it needs to be one where the drives can be seated horizontally. Thanks 
for your help in advance!
