Disk solution for Thermaltake Core-P200

[Nirnex]

I currently have a Core-W200 that works as my workstation, (simultaneous windows and Linux systems). I have ended up with a Core-P200 for free and was wondering if there's a decent way to use it for a large storage array. Thinking of changing my linux board to a vm/nas machine using Proxmox or Unraid with an Epyc or Threadripper. Looking for any ideas out there. The pedestal is very generic but both side panels are hinged to provide reasonably easy access to the inside. I think conceptually Thermaltake expects you to use it for water cooling equipment, but my loops fit comfortably in the main case.

You could fabricate some sort of large drive cage if you were so inclined and had the access. Alternatively if you're not allergic to jank and make regular backups you could just stack up drives in the back and zip tie the tower down. Not that I would reccomend that, but you could.

I have the same setup and with the P200 also came a couple of HDD metal bars which you can make it into a hdd rack.
