A very good question, and I can only answer: I think(hope) so. Given the 
case dimensions (23" X 15" X 21"), and the fact that four of the drives 
will be connected via a PCI card which I can put in the most convenient 
physical location, I'm reasonably optimistic that I won't have to exceed 
an 18" cable length. On that note, though, does anybody have experience 
with longer cables? I see some people selling rounded 36" ATA133 cables 
which would certainly be long enough, but they exceed the normal specs.

I forgot to mention that this site also has some interesting "frontend" 
cases, e.g.:
