Thanks guys,

1. Doesn't matter, 3.5 or 5.25 will work fine.

2. Yes, I have 3 sitting next to me... 2 have 200gb WD harddrives and 1 has a dvd burner.

3. Yes, very very easily.


Something like at these pages would probably work. You just gotta think how you want to connect it... USB2 or firewire. It really depends on what you want, I personally went USB2 since I was using a USB hub anyways and I had the open ports. I would recommend poking around and looking at what chipsets they use for the board inside of the enclosure as preformance rates will vary. But if that really isn't too important to you, cheap ones will work. Good luck!
