There was some talk about FC recently, and I just happened to notice
that the kind of FC disk gadget I use is up on ebay again:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=22462&item=5722486918&rd=1

This is the disk-tray from a SUN blade1000, you'll need a powersupply
(+5, +12, grab it from your computer), an 80mm fan for cooling and
a cable to hook it to your FC controller.

This is the cheapest way to get a couple of FC disks running I'm aware
off.
