Any 'networked drive" is gonna need a computer to run it ( eg: server )
I dont know of any remote drive cases that can act as a node on a lan - 
or even if there is such a thing...

Just about any old box can be used as a server. And once it is setup it 
can be run headless and kb/mouse-less via vnc from one of your 'main' pc's
I have just such a beast sitting under my desk. It holds an assortment 
of drives ( backups and storage ) and does nothing else. It runs kubuntu 
and samba shares which are accessible from both linux and win PC's.
