Hi David,


You're right! I feel like everyone wants a storage pod!
Well, the good news is that the case is manufactured in your part of the world by a company called Protocase. They are selling the cases directly on their website after receiving a few hundred inquiries... Check out http://www.protocase.com

Buying the enclosure just for the backplane is a bit expensive so you can order them directly from the CFI Group in Taiwan??(http://www.chyangfun.com/) for $42/each, in quantity. Not sure how much they would charge for a smaller order.
