I've never seen empty 5.25" SBB cases on eBay. I'm hoping
to find some cases that people have pulled the guts out of
to use somewhere else or have had the drives fail.

I've got a BA350, BA356, and RaidArray 310. I'd like to get
another HSZ20 to use with the one in the RA310 for redundant
backup. Even better I'd like to get an HSZ40 (or two). I'm
using the RA310 in a SCSI cluster with two PWS500au systems
with a FWD card in each box.

I have a DLT4000 (the same as a TZ87). I'd like a TZ88
or TZ89, but the DLT4000 works okay for now (and was
much cheaper than a TZ88).
