The RD53 is just a commodity PC disk -- the Micropolis 1325.  Check
the back pages of Byte or any PC hardware hacker magazine, or catalogs
like Priority One.  You should be able to pick up a box and power
supply for under $100.

Note also that if you buy the drive from Micropolis instead of DEC,
you pay $1000 instead of $4000.
