I guess I was thinking of something else....

At work, we've a big cage for SCSI disks, both for our Compaq PCI
servers and another for one of our HP-9000s.  I was just thinking of a
case that could hold 10 or 12 with power supply (or supplies).  I
suppose if there's to be ONE data cable it's got to be a hardware RAID
solution....

Perhaps I just need to pile them up in a big tower case (or two or
three :) - maybe with a big hard drive in addition...

Of course, a development LEAF box with a 650M hard drive would be
smokin' :)
