Check out the Behringer Composer Pro.  Costs about $85 USD, and 
works perfectly.  And all of the hardware snobs that come into your 
studio will stick their noses up because they like to pay 10x more 
for hardware that does the same exact thing ;)

dbx 363x. half-rack 2-channel gate. paid and later
sold one for $60 a while back. usually sells with
rackmounting kit, or you can get a second one and end
up with 4 gates side by side in one rack space.

Audio Logic make some pretty good cheap quad gates as
well. the model I recall was MT-44 or something along
those lines...

to step up a bit, you could look at the Drawmer stuff.
MX-series (I think the gate from that series was
MX-30) or their well-known DS-201. bit more $$ for
those though.

or you could just stick with Behringer, as the Sid
manual suggests. I don't think Behringer gear could
damage the sound of the Sid any more than the Sid
itself already does (and I mean that in a good way ;o)

cheers,
kevin
