I am also in the market for a nice external hd case. But i have a few specs for mine. I need it to be able to cary very large drives 250gb>. It needs to be alandium, becuase that way it will last a lot longer and I will not be in fear of it cracking under my brutil use. If anyone has any like that, that they have used before I would appericate a review. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - NetZero HiSpeed!
