Sorry but this is a generic solution so I'll clutter up the group.

If you are not worried about looks I suggext getting a PC clone case.
A half tower or something along those lines.  They have plenty of drive
drive bays and usually a 200 watt power supply.  All you need to supply
is the cabling for SCSI, there are usually 4 of the standard power cables.

These case work great and give the option of expandability.
