I agree 100% with this in the context of the average home user. There are several companies that does have External storage towers, the Digital BA356 and the Compaq Universal Enclosure would be examples, of a simple way to had 7-14 SCSI drives to a standard PC (which is what I am doing). I'm fortunate enough to work where we have a few spares of these and that's and so I don't have to buy the drives. Though if someone wanted, they can get refurbish and such off of E-bay fairly cheap. (at least compared to buying new) But with 80-100 gig 7200 rpm drives out and fairly cheap, having a SCSI tower isn't so important. I have 6 bay tower and even with 36 gig drives that's just over 216 gig, but for around $520 I can get (2) 100 Gig 7200 rpm drives and have pretty much the same storage. Now if only those 40/80 gig DLT tape units would come down in price.
