Find an old erector set laying around. Build a little external chasis which could encase 3 or 4 hdd's. Strap a 120mm fan in front. You now have a pretty passive and quiet ambient cooling solution .

Of course you may run out of bus bandwidth....

Nice. I'll have to give that some consideration... Though External hard drives with enclosures aren't all that much more expensive than non externals any more.

I bought one of these earlier this year at a trade show for 20$CND and just for trouble shooting its a life saver. Works great and fast... And I love using its external power supply to power up diff things, takes the load off crappy PSU's.

i'd rather use the similar firewire kits which are available. you can string 63 drives together that way if you wish with some pretty darn quick disk access/write speed.
