Cheap place to buy scsi connectors, cables, where?

I want to build a scsi case from an old PC tower that I can find cheap.
What type of pc case will come on when the "other" computer starts up in the scsi "chain"?
I will be putting a scsi cd burner in it, and some scsi drives.

Where is a cheap place for the scsi connectors, scsi cables inside the tower etc.
Yes.....this will be for a Mac...I am looking for a place to buy parts 🙂

I live in both worlds 🙂
 
u want a pc case that has an extra power outlet in the back of it (usually reserved for monitors). if you can connect the scsi case to that, you can have that case start up when your computer starts up. otherwise, just turn it on separately.
i'm sure you don't use the your cdr/cdrom all the time, and it will save power.
scsi connectors are usually pretty expensive. i got one from www.hypermicro.com. it was a 6ft centronics and db50 connector for 25. i'm sure you can find a better price elsewhere, but that's generally the price range. (more expensive for 68pins and longer cables)
