Dunno what site you are looking at but I see 2 and 4 drive 3.5" hot swap sata backplane cases for what I'd call not unreasonable money for a "specialist" case.
Yes, but take a 300 watt power supply and use only 40 watts and that's nearer 10% load.
Aye...I did do the maths :) ..hence why you need to look at the full 80-Plus specification and see if any of the "grades" investigate lower loads....I wasn't being specific to 300W psu's though just saying you need to take this energy rating into account before dismissing all oversized supplies.
