Let's say you had a wooden box you wanted to turn into a PC case. Where would you buy a metal 5.25" bay assembly? I'm talking about a U-shaped piece of flat metal that will screw onto the wood box wherein a couple of drives can be mounted. There's just way too much noise in Google on this one. Thanks!

Some months ago I bought a RAID card for my desktop PC, and a second hard drive. I'd like to set up a mirrored RAID array just to decrease my chances of ever losing any data. My problem is that the instructions are clear on how to install the card, but not on what to do if I ever experience trouble. Can I take one drive from a mirrored array and put it in another machine? If one drive fails, will the other just keep trucking and boot the PC? Any experience getting a mirrored RAID set up, or recovering one, would be appreciated.
