Probably there isn't and won't be such device easily available. It's
probably a bit cheaper (=profitable) to install ready hard drives from
the same line which sends them to OEM computer manufacturers than to
start making a new model.
OTOH we'll see how USB-HD's can carry on, since eSATA is also getting to
be possible choice. I upgraded my homeserver and changed the case to a
cheap entry-level one (still much better than it used to be.. actually I
think it's quite good) and it has eSATA-connector in the front panel (I
couldn't plug it in, though, since it would've used 1 SATA-connector
from the mobo - and I needed all 6 of them inside).
