where can i find network attached storage

[Sensai]

im lookin for just the enclosure thats relatively value priced and can hold maybe up to 2 or 4 sata or ide drives for expansion that is preferably gigabit ready... if not oh well...

the buffalo terrabit NAS looks awesome, but i do not want to buy their .6 tb, 1 tb drives


edit:
just the enclosure itself ...no drives so I can put it my own whenever i want to expand.

What kind of price range are you looking at?
as cheap as possible..... maybe no more than $100-150?

Here are the least expensive I can find at my sources.

Both have 4 USB ports, built in print server, and Gigabyte ethernet.

4 x 160GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822155305

4 x 250GB http://www.insight.com/ do a search for buffalo, except for the drive size it is the same as the one above (their link is about 3 screens wide).

are there any products where I can just buy the enclosure alone?

i checked out the manual... at least this prod. doesn't force you to use a blank drive, but if u stick a ntfs drive, it will only read, not write to it.
