We currently have had great success installing raw SCSI hard disks in 
boxes manufactured by a company called TRIMM.  The unit that will hold 
up to a 5.25" Full Height drive is called a DA531.  This has the 
proper back for centronics style plugs.  You will have to supply the 
centronics plugs and internal ribbon cable.  There is an optional 
shock mount kit for this box which is truly great.  There is also a 
box called a DA1031 that will hold 2 full height drives.

We source our TRIMM boxes from Arrow Electronics, but let purchasing 
worry about the cost, so I don't have pricing information.
