I am running two machines but want to get rid of one. I use this one main for storage and don't feel like tossing 3 or 4 drives into my gaming setup. What can I use to run 3-4 drives externally in one enclosure? Speed is not a huge issue as this is mainly media storage and backups.

Are these drives IDE or SATA?

Also, a good choice.
Frys.com has the TR4M on sale for $150. Think that is good until Tuesday. It is also available in the retail stores (at least the one in Tempe, AZ has it).
