    Has anyone build an external hard drive?
    Because it's easy and could save some bucks($50+), but I don't know which USB 2.0 enclosure to choose.
    I'd definitely go for western digital HDD(300+GB).
    Also need an information for hard drives.(price, tips.....etc)

    I use an Akasa Integral enclosure and in it sits a Western Digital Caviar 160GB IDE that used to be my system's OS disk. Works great!
    Failing that, Icy box make some cool enclosures you can use.
