Multi-drive enclosures

[torifile]

Is there something out there that I can just hook up to my computer via USB or firewire that will hold 3 or 4 internal drives? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a bunch of bays for internal drives. It doesn't need to be a NAS or have RAID built-in. I just have a few 120 gig HDs lying around that I'd like to put into something. Any thoughts? TIA.

Good call Chucker.

I've fallen in love with enclosures but I wish that there was a manufacturer out there who innovated in that (admittedly low-margin) market.

Thanks for those links, chucker. I forgot to mention that these drives are IDE or whatever it's called. Not SATA. They're just old spare drives I've had lying around or in other enclosures for a couple of years. Anything for IDE drives?

Oh, that's gonna be a lot harder, especially at reasonable prices.
