-- Posted by jamescoleman at 8:17 pm on May 2, 2008 alright so i need some suggestions on an enclosure for a laptop hdd ide interface. i have two laptops where i took the hdd's out of would like to use them for college. our college student space is a joke..its like at most a 100 megs per student. anywho i would like to install linux on one hdd and use the other as a backup drive for school instead. i also carry two flash drives with me too school as well. anyways i was looking at the enclosures that use usb to rwx data and also power by usb. i found one case but i'm not sure if there are any others that might be better. i've already checked out newegg.. -- Posted by rand0mguy at 9:06 pm on May 2, 2008 you should be able to buy then at your local computer/electronics store shouldnt you -- Posted by jamescoleman at 6:41 pm on May 3, 2008 ya but i know they'll be more expensive..... -- Posted by Dylan6405 at 7:45 pm on May 3, 2008 www.tigerdirect.com is where i get all my computer stuff, cheap and good quality site -- Posted by jamescoleman at 9:43 pm on May 3, 2008 i get my stuff from new egg. i forgot about tiger direct. i'll check it out.
