I have a CDTV if you want it.
Not sure whether it has SCSI though (probably not).

CDTV's did not come stock with SCSI, but a third party adapter called SCSI-TV was made to plug into the expansion slot.  Never actually seen one myself, but I recall reading that the CDTV cover would just *barely* fit back on after installation.  

Just went to the Commodore CDTV Information Center (http://www.cdtv.org.uk/) (I highly recommend this site for all things CDTV) and found this link:  http://www.cdtv.org.uk/amitrix.html (http://www.cdtv.org.uk/amitrix.html)

The site also shows a couple other SCSI adapters I hadn't been aware of.

Who knows where you'd find one these days, I haunted eBay for months without seeing one.

Actually, it's adding the DKB Mini Mega Chip that makes the case barely fit.  The SCSI-TV from Amitrix doesn't take up any extra space and works great.  It has space on the expansion card to mount a 2.5" drive, or you can split the power off the cd rom and fit a half height 3.5" in the case under some of the circuit boards fine.  That's what I did.
