Multiple Drive External Enclosure

I am looking for an external enclosure that can hold multiple (2) hard drives. I would like the enclosure to have bays that can accept removable racks so that I can swap hard drives out. I would also like it to connect to my laptop via firewire.

I found this:
http://www.cooldrives.com/dkatladrsuup.html
but I don't want to buy from that site because of all the bad reviews it has gotten from resellerratings

Does anyone know where else I might find something like that?

thanks!
 
http://www.geeks.com carries a 4-drive Firewire case for much less than any of those. Add up to 4 mobile racks. Some of these places carry enclosures for IDE as well as SCSI:

Here are some good SCSI vendors:

hypermicro.com (may offer free ground shipping if you mention www.storagereview.com - check the SR site for the latest offer)
centrix-intl.com
pc-pitstop.com (offers PayPal as a payment option)
scsi4me.com (ditto)
etech4sale.com
and I can usually find stuff (like drives, cables and adapters) for low bucks on eBay.
