Alright, I happened upon a couple SCSI Raid 0,1,5 controllers and about 10 semi-old (10,000 RPM 18GB & 36GB) HDD's the other day and, after powering a couple up, I can definately say that I'm going to need to build an external enclosure for them. Wow, that scream can get annoying / headache-inducing! Anyway, I was wondering if the only thing I had to do was

A: get power to them (somehow... extra psu?) and
B: connect a regular SCSI cable to the outside port of the controller card?

If so, this should probably be a breeze, but if there's more to it, I'm not in the mood to go buy a dremel just to cut up my case to allow cables to run in/out. I'm looking for a modular solution, in case I want to move the external box to a different computer/location someday. Any general knowledge/help/advice on anything relating to this project would be quite nice! ; :)
 
Get an AT pwer supply to power em. Also, you should be able to get an VHD connector adapter cable so you won't need to cut your case, it will probably be designed for a backplane though, might be able to find an adapter. not sure on that part.
