I suppose one could run a cable between the chassis base and the enclosure
cover, but it's awful tight. In fact, there's no gap at all, but a cable
could theoretically fit between the base and the cover (and provide strain
relief) but there's nothing to indicate that was the intent. But perhaps
that *was* the intent?
I saw a beige drive box a couple of years ago that looked exactly as
you describe, with, IIRC, an ESDI drive in it. The data cable ran
between the rear bulkhead and the cover. I remember thinking that it
was somebody's screwed-up hardware hack, but there really was nowhere
else for it to go. The fit was like so:
Top Cover

There wasn't any indentation, extra curl, or other provision in the
metalwork for that cable.
