Does anyone have any advice on where to get cheap 4-Bay firewire 
enclosures, preferably with removable disk trays?  I can live with 
Firewire 400 to keep the cost down (besides isn't there a problem 
with Firewire 800 on the original G5's).

I'm looking at primarily using the enclosure for backups of my 
primary disks (two internal SATA and two external ATA in a nice 
Wiebetech 2 drive FW400 enclosure).

I prefer to buy the HD's themselves from a local dealer, in fact I 
bought two 250GB drives that will go into the enclosure today.

I just wish I'd done this prior to loosing my 300GB system disk that 
I bought for the Tiger upgrade (the drive was just over 2 months 
old).  I was able to recover most of my data, but lost my Neverwinter 
Nights game that I'd spent my spare time the last month or so playing 
:^(  At least I was able to recover all of my email, photo's, and a 
writing project.
