Erik, I found your comments helpful also… I've made a couple of SCSI subsystems out of PC cases myself. What's your source for internal cables? I found some, but they didn't match the alleged MAC SCSI cables we had. The internal cables I got were just a legnth of ribbon cable with IDC Centronics 50s on either end and 50 pin drive headers in the middle. I couldn't figure out whether I ordered the wrong internal cable, or if the MAC SCSI cables were really something else! BTW, I've had one wierd problem with the power supplies in those external cases. A 1 gig drive (5.25" full height) put some sort of unbalanced load on the 230 watt supply. There wasn't enough load on the 5v for the supply to regulate properly. I had to add a dummy load before the drive would spin up. Jim
