<< Recently received a 5.25-inch full-height SCSI hard drive. Since it will not fit in my external scsi HD case and I won't be able to buy a larger enclosure for a while, I would like to know the likelyhood of building one out of a IIci case and the innards of a regular low profile external scsi hd enclosure.

This drive is bigger in every dimension than the standard mounting tray. It's footprint does, however, fit in a modified Syquest box (with the housing removed, as it is still taller) which I plan to place inside the IIci case. That should take care of the mounting and cabling requirements, but from what I've learned so far, my main concerns are an adequate power supply and cooling. Which leads to my next question: what exactly (in plain english) would con stitute an adequate power supply?
