www.logiccomputerhouse.com you can get a usb2/firewire enclosure and add
your favourite HD to it yourself.  Generally cheaper too.  And you don't
void the warrenty by opening it since you get the warrenty on each part
seperately.  Comes in 5-1/4, 3-1/2 and 2-1/2 inch versions (for cd/dvd,
regular hd and laptop hd respectively.)
