and my preamp so basically i'm looking at a way to put two units that fit 5 1/4" bays into their own seperate housing. the housing will require 12 volt supply and be connected to my PC via the ribbon cable between the soundcard and front module... just going to runt hat out through a space created by removing a spare PCI blank on the back probably just sit it on top of my case.... ...would i be able to buy a box that'd take these two drives (side by side would do but preferably on top of each other) in maplin or similar? thanks *n
