HDD casing

[Nameite]

Hey guys, i got a few busted pcs with 40gig harddrives for like ages...
It suddenly hit me that I should use it else it'll go to waste.

Any idea where I can get those hdd casing/enclosure whatever u call them to make them into an external drive?
Its not really that important so dont feel like spending too much on it, the pc shops i went to look at were like R400...i can get a normal external drive for that price and half the weight..

Any input appreciated...I live in JHB west

Thanx

......... ordered myself the esata version last week

ngrcomputers has it, dunno if it's in stock, but rather wait for ssb.

IDEA: why doesn't ssb become the official hardware supplier to us forumites? It's easier than having to hunt for all the stuff we want on the net.

Because i cant provide everything there is on the market. If we have learned anything from the existence of MyADSL, its that competition is good...

Love the sentiment though.

ssb you remember if you stock the DiNovo keyboard and Logitech MX1000 mouse?

Dont mind, think i might find what i need

Well Nameite you'll be happy with a Nexstar, I have the 2.5" version and it takes some punishment being lugged around in my bag. Had it for 2 years or so and not one problem at all....

Oooooh I'm gonna have to ask the folks first but thats very tempting. I'm in serious need of a keyboard and mouse upgrade.

ssb have you used that keyboard in person, if so are the keys quiet when you type? /stupid q I know but it's important for me

Also, my friend has that enclosure and it's great, bit heavy compared to my pocket size 2.5" enclosure

aw man! My DiNovo set is outdated already!

 

[feo]

You got the one he posted in the link?

 

[dotVIBE]

I have a dinovo, the keys are MUCH quieter than om a regular keyboard. It's even quieter than my MX3100 Logitech elite keyboard.

 

[dotVIBE]

nah, I have this one : http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/ZA/EN,CRID=2162,CONTENTID=9575

very nice, but mouse is standard optical.

I also have MX1000, now THAT is a good mouse.
