True, though an enclosure for shared disks is expensive. This isn't for production but for me to explore what I can do with x86/x64 hardware. The idea being that I can just throw up another x86/x64 box to add more storage. Has anyone tried anything similar?

You mean something like this?
   disk ---- server ---+
                      +-- server --- network --- client
   disk ---- server ---+

I'm not sure how that can be less expensive in the TCO sense.
