musicistabest,

You'd need a power supply compatible with the drives you are using a well as external/internal connectors compatible with the drive types you're using (i.e. SATA, EIDE or SCSI).

I guess I'm curious as to WHY you'd want to build your own when you can purchase external enclosures with drive bays, power supplies and internal/external connectors.

Hope this helps.
