My wife's employer has officially "deactivated" her old desktop machine, a 400-MHz Macintosh G4 with 1 GB of RAM. I am tempted to use this for a new server, instead of going out and buying a new Intel box. One catch: I want to attach a few SCSI drives to my new machine to do RAID on it. For fifty bucks, I can get a four-pack of 47-GB SCSI Ultra/Wide drives (http://www.softwareandstuff.com/h_hd_ST446442W4.html), but these are full-height 5.25" drives -- I'm not sure I can even fit one of them inside the G4's case. So if I get the G4 and the drives, I'll need an external SCSI enclosure. Can anyone recommend a source for reasonably-priced enclosures? Googling turns up a lot of sites selling U160 or U320 enclosures, which is more than I need; the only brand that *seems* appropriate for this kind of drive is Manhattan (http://www.netcables.com/item_view.cfm?id=163392).
