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.

I bought an enclosure from Tulin Corp.  Very nice. Here's the details

Tulin Corp, San Jose, CA
(408) 432-9025  Fax:(408) 943-0782

Part No. TLSC651     65 Watt A-Hive  (holds one full-ht, or two half ht)
                     $169.00

I painted it black and it looks great and is quite quiet.

Or you could buy an AT "baby" case NEW for around $65 that has a 200W
power supply and room for 2 or 3 5.25" devices and a 3.5" deviced and
maybe a '486 (running NeXTStep '486, if ya so desire).
