I agree!  I put together a case ($43 including shipping) and a $59 (after
rebate) hard drive last month and couldn't be happier.  It took all of 10
minutes to put them together and load the USB2 drivers for the external
hard drive.....  Actually I didn't have to do any driver loading since Win
2000 already has the USB2 external storage drivers, just Plug and Play!  I
love mine for backing up two PC's and having data off site.
