Just get front panel plug in racks for your HDDs.  Then all you need is 
another HDD not a complete system.  I am running HDDs in them up to 200G,

By real I mean one that you can read and write to, not IBM BM or the 
unseen primary associated with an extended.....

My only primary is C:, FAT16.  It holds all the versions of DOS 
including W9x and also whatever I am using for boot selection. 
Everything else is on a single extended.  All the OSs are on the first 
HDD.  All other HDDs are a single extended, no primarys.

I am currently using Acronis OS Selector, V5.  I have V8 but don't 
really care for it.  I do intend to give it another chance.  For a long 
time I used System Commander.  A couple years ago it developed a glitch 
regarding OS/2, on some hardware.  If OS/2 was the last OS booted it 
will not show as an option the next time.  It is necessary to at least 
start to boot something else to get OS/2 on the menu again.  And yes the 
vendor is aware, and no they do not care.
