The case may have the room for three or four drives, but will the  
power supply be able to handle that load? I once tried to install four  
drives in a Gbit Ethernet G4 and found that the original power supply  
was just a little short on the wattage side. It could spin up three of  
the drives at boot, but not the fourth. I had to use Disk Utility to  
mount the last drive after the OS was finished starting up.
