Hi I am looking for an affordable case with hot swap drive bays. All the ones I have found so far are expensive. I'm hoping to find something around $100USD. Need 2 bays. Its for a mATX desktop that will be sitting on a table so it needs to be suitably sized. Thanks for reading my post.

The case won't be the one responsible for the hot swapping that'll be your motherboard but if you want a case that has drive access maybe a server case? or put this: https://cpc.farnell.com/icy-dock/mb324sp-b/4-bay-2-5-sata-hdd-ssd-hot-swap/dp/CS32270?mckv=sS7YOXKCl_dc|pcrid|394952954133|kword||match||plid||slid||product|CS32270|pgrid|83737174233|ptaid|pla-765598460834|&CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-SHOPPING&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn8nuBRCzARIsAJcdIfPYh5xezhwLLOMZ18gX-hN5XedEm4aFP-RvGjq9AJb25oFBFAIoY84aAkKpEALw_wcB into your case...

Yes motherboard has hot swap. I have looked at 5.25" bay. My current case does not have a 5.25" bay so I would need a new case. I should state I currently use a phanteks p400 and a USB dock. The USB docks are quite annoying. I want to free up some cables, powerpoints, and space. I'm hoping to find a new case that has external drive bays.
