Lovely Wolver-ampton!
Can someone spec me one please?

I bought an uber cheap one from a computer fair... ZOMG. The USB socket is terrible, the power socket is loose, and the external power supply also is loose, so any slight movement on the cable means the drive shuts down!

Anything up to £20 I guess.
 
what type of hdd will it be holding?

i just got the Icy Box External Enclosure IB-282UOT OneTouch External for my 2.5" IDE HDD and i find it is quite good (cant say very good yet as i havent abused it enough)
 
160Gb WD Caviar SE EIDE (3.5")

The other problem with the case I currently have seems to stem from the disk itself. Previously had a 250Gb Maxtor IDE drive in there and it got SO hot. The WD I'm using in there now doesn't appear to get anywhere near as warm.

Icy Box seems to be the way.
