Default Two ideas for cages

Well as i'm going to be moving into a smaller bedroom when we move house i've been looking around for space saving ideas!
My mum doesn't mind the idea of more hamsters in future, but she doesn't want me too take up space and make my room unpractical

Its a shame i spotted a brilliant cage a while ago (sparking my first idea) which was an ex petshop cage, with glass sliding fronts and trays, the rest being wooden.
It would have been amazing and my mum said i should look out for anotehr but i dought they'll ever be one again
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas of where to find one of these?
Its a long shot i know

The other idea, much more possible this time.
Was a hamster C&C cage liek the ones for guinea pigs?
For thsoe who don't know a C&C cage is basically a correx tray with a surrounding cube grid panels like these: 4 Cube Mesh & Grid Storage System: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home
It can create some huge cages that can be customized to make it your own. Heres a page about them Guinea Pig Cages, Your Cavy At Home

Obviously thegrid squares are too big for a hammy, but as you can see in the amazon link, it comes with mesh panels aswell that might be small enough for syrians at least.
Or i could use some other grid
It would obv be closed top aswell. They can be stacked ontop quite easily cause they build up like this:

please let me know what you think and add any ideas/ solutions

I dont think you will like this idea but you could stack up lots of bin cages with ladders going into them so its a multystory one, but i think it way too much DIY :/ i like the idea og a C+C cage tho

Thansk, a bin cage stack actually is my other idea, after seeing someones on MAH i think it would be fab
I don't mind a bit of d.i.y (well my grandads goo at it anyways ) so i think i could manage a bin cage
