looks like sweet case. but might wanna invest in a little bit more and get one that supports both usb2.0 and firewire.

So you have to plug it in to an electrical outlet? It doesn't get power from the USB?

If I got to plug it in, its not as portable as I'd like it to be for a lappy.

Looks damn cool, though.

I have this case. It works fine. It's a good looking case, but it does feel a little cheap. The top and bottom are aluminum, but the sides are plastic. The lights are strictly for show if you are into that stuff. Yes it requires an electrical hookup. I doubt there are too many external enclosures that only operate off of USB power. Especially enclosures made for fast spinning 3.5" drives. You might find cordless enclosures for notebook drives, but I haven't seen them for 3.5" drives.

There are no 3.5" external enclousures powered by the USB. They all have to plug into the wall.

usb doesn't provide enough power to run a hard drive.

That's a rebadged "metal gear box" or whatever else they call them. I have one. You have to be careful how you put it down because the aluminum edges and thumbscrews can scratch things and the plastic foot thing it slots into is too small to provide stability. I put some of those clear rubber feet on the thumscrews though.

picked up two enclosures from dealsonic. Thanks OP, as i have never heard of this site before.

Also, items arrived in 2 days since they are based out of CA and I'm in CA.
