"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

Walmart online has external hard drive cases for $20-30 if you've got
spare drives. My friend said some of the ones at walmart don't last
long so you'd have to check reviews if you go that route. It doesn't
usualy trash the drive though.
Watch out for those little Western Digital usb powered drives. They
had a bad reputation of dying and data loss.
I don't know about the newer ones.

Thanks Karl. Good information to know.

Much obliged

www.newegg.com is your friend . I'm using a laptop drive in a case I bought
for them for under 10 bucks . They also have cases for internal desktop
drives , I think .

I just ordered a y splitter for audio (computer to stereo) from them
for $6.99. Shipping was $8.99 for 3 day UPS! So far I'm not
impressed.

Ya gotta shop smart with them Snarl . I try to watch and get stuff when
they have free shipping , otherwise you can spend more than just pickin' it
up at WallyWorld . Of course you don't exactly have a WW in your back yard
like most of us .
I've got an s-video/rca pin jack adapter in my shopping cart there right
now . Gotta decide whether I wanna install a video card with s-video
capability in my desktop or move a comp that already has one into the
living room so I can play movies from it to my TeeVee .

Newegg is one of the best vendors I've ever dealt with. But this is a
better place for cables. http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp

What he hell? Did you think they would ship for free? ;-)
Getting anything shipped for much less than $10 is getting pretty hard these
days! When I order something in I usually try to wait and order enough crap
to make it worth the freight.
