....that is just the case, meaning that you supply the HD, and that way you are only buying the case/power supply?

I want to get an external HD for backing up my Laptop, and wanted to use a HD I already have.

Default There are a ton of them. You can look on pricewatch.com. I put a link to some at Computer Geeks.

Default Never tried it but....

I have an external HP CDR case. I took the CDR out of it to put into a desktop. In theory the HD could be put into it and used. You'd just have to plug it into the laptop's parallel port. You can have it if you want. I'll be in Maitland on Wed. night and bring it down.

Default Get an I-pod.

You can use it as an external drive and put you MP3's on it...I've got the 20 Gig and have about 3000 songs with about Gigs left...
