I got a system, but you can pick up SCA external drive boxes. At the
time I found some on ebay. Here's a full box, more than you want:

I recall seeing 4/5 drive external sca bays for about $100. I can't
find any on ebay at the moment though. I bet one of the bigger disk
drive houses would have them though. Maybe dirtcheapdrives or
Megahous. I found a rather expensive example (~$675) at
http://www.megahaus.com/cgi-bin/webstore.exe. Check RAID solutions,
RAID ready enclosures, Dataport SCA case w/4 cartridges.
Looking at their offerings, I'd look for something on ebay, without
cartridges. You'd do a lot better on price.
