Looking to craft my own external hard-drive. :)
So far, I'm considering this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817332012) or this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817198003). Maybe even this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817173043). Who knows?
Anybody have any experience with this? What should I look for? I'm looking for one to house my SATA drive I *never* use...
all overpriced
Find a broken LaCiE (or similar) on ebay and swap the drive out. Try to find one with a similar capacity and obviously the same type (eSATA capable). Should be able to get something in the 20-25 range.

I have a broken LaCie, and it could fit two IDE drives. I don't have any spare IDE drives and they're phasing them out.
Price isn't a
big issue for me... if it works, and it's a bit overpriced, I'm gonna live. I'll look around on eBay, though.
If you don't care about price, all you need is something that says it will accept a SATA drive of the capacity you want to use :)
