I am doing the above. I bought 2 empty, 8-slot FireWire towers:

Then I buy IDE drives and plug them in as I need them. I try to get 
at least 250GB drives, thought lately I have been getting the 400GB. 
Nice thing about these is that as drives get larger, you can start 
with all the old drives you have laying around, then easily replace 
your smallest drives with the latest and greatest as need and money 
require. It is also nice to not pay for the whole thing at once. Buy 
a new drive whenever you run out of space and just add it. -Chuck-
