I currently use a laptop as my primary computer and it only has an 80 gig hard drive. I also have two external drives but those are also full. So what I would like to do is create a custom enclosure out of a regular atx tower case and just put the harddrives in that and connet it to my computer via usb.

My question is how exactly would this be done? All the hard drives I would be using for now would be ide drives and I found this adapter online
JBOD USB 2.0 adapter and it seems like I would be able to use that and put the harddrives in the case with a power supply. But one problem I have is how would I turn the harddrives on and off? Any help would be appreciated
 
by turning on and off the powersupply in the other case?
