Looks like I forgot to write GB. The one I got was for 160GB I was lucky&#33;&nbsp;

160GB Western Digital External Drive for &#036;89?&#33; [/b][/quote]
Yes but when I got it with all the rebates on that store.
Go check the site now, you will be surprised to see all the rebates you could get. I used the external HDD for my laptop. So bought a case and USB 2.0 card.

Update: Go to this site Tech Bargains
Scroll down and look at all the rebates and prices. 200GB is for &#036;149 and 80GB is for &#036;50.
B)
Go get it&#33; (Hope you are in U.S )

But these prices are not for externals...I saw these in the paper ADs today.They for internals.

[3rd gen noob]

i&#39;m jealous of the low prices for hardware and rebates in the u.s.

in the uk, things are much more expensive, and we don&#39;t get rebates

you americans are lucky...

Thats what I explained. You can make your own external with low prices. Buy a case thats for like &#036;30 (USB 2/0 & firewire enabled) and a huge capacity HDD . Put that in and its all ready. I am using one of those and the total only costen about &#036;110. (160 GB & Case) (USB 2.0 Card was another &#036;30 but u dont need that I suppose)

OR are you looking for some fancy external HDD. I would say get your own case. Good price and great deal.

You never said too make your own.But have talked to Jetje about this before...so might look into that.Thanks buddy.

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

Can I buy these cases at the local CompUSA or bestbuy?I never see them in Paper ADs. Am looking for them now.

Because I look this up...about making a external harddrive and nothing really comes up.Search Results

Yes.....I am a total NOOB at this.

For new storage hardware, I would consider DVD burner too,
those are getting cheaper,
for HD, I consider 120GB with 8MB cache.

This is just some stuff im throwing out of hat here...

But, since you mentioned it, External HD has a lot of advantages.

Yes but the media for a DVD burner is still to expensive.............and GL
How do you use a DVD burner for a hard drive?

Peace brotherdoobie

[jetje]

Just some links to external HD cases...

Starking Tech

some more from a "shop"

q-tec

lowen

mapower

There are plenty more out there... i just have simple ones called "Site" or something like that but already gave you that name in pm... With an additional fan i built in they work great. Have to say the external Maxtor i have looks more pretty, but this way it&#39;s a lot cheaper and technically equal...&#33;

Got a pretty late in replying. Glad Jetje helped you already. The best play to buy them would be at ebay. Here I already did a search on ebay with "External Enclosure" Link. You can go there and chose the one you want and is cheaper. The one I got was for about &#036;30 two months back inclduding shipping. So you just might get a nice deal there. But always choose USB 2.0 and firewire.

Goodluck FC&#33;
