} I'm going to have to build an external HD enclosure.  What do people do 
} for power supplies?  Power itself shouldn't be a problem; assuming a 
} drive consumes 20W on spinup and 10W running then even 20 drives can be 
} handled by a (relatively) modest 450 W PS.  No mobo in the enclosure, so 
} no power for that.
} 
} I've heard about people using resistors on a normal PS when it's used 
} without a mobo.  I can only assume that the PS requires a load of some 
} sort on the mobo connector to operate properly, but I'm not about to go 
} slapping random resistors on the connector... :-)
} 
} I've not had any luck finding a HOWTO or anything on this.  Anyone have 
} any ideas?  Suggestions?
