Nas

[Johnnymac]

Has anyone heard of a NAS chasis that I could throw some drives in preferably with a FireWire interface? I have the external cases out there but they are only for one drive. I'd love to find a case that will hold 3-4 drives to hang off the network or to a server.

BTW, any thoughts on the single drive cases that are out there? I went to microcenter and saw some with fans and some did not. Is cooling an issue with the fan-less ones?

As long as we're on the subject, I feel I must brag about my new baby:

The Network Appliance FAS940 Filer (http://www.networkappliance.com/products/filer/enterprise-filers.html)...

Two terabytes today, probably three or four before the end of the year. Just installed it last week. Ahh, I love new technology!

It seems my wallet is a little low for a true NAS right now. Does anyone have any opinions of the external IDE cases on the deals page? I want to get one but should I buy one with a fan or not? Any help would be great. Thanks
