That wont work. You have to have tons of hookups. Just go buy a allready made one. There like $100 shipped for a 300GB.

Why won't it work? I was told by a few different people it would. And if you can find a prebuilt 300 gb one post up a link.

It will work, u just need hookups. Seeing how that hardrive runs a different cord other then the USB. I think its called a IPE cord. And the power is converted different and basically your wiring will be laying ALL over. Just take the easy route and buy the one from best buy. It even saves you money.

If you take a look here.

It has everything inside the case, this is not the same case that I linked to in the beginning but it is the same thing, just a different case, it already has everything in side the case, the plug that goes into the HDD and the power for it, and a fan.

traxxas_junkee, that should work in your link, at least according to their description.
Did you check out pricing at newegg? You might be able to find better pricing compared to tiger direct.

I was looking at newegg. I didn't look through all of them, but I will most likely get the case from TD since it is so cheap, but I'll look on newegg for a cheaper HDD.
EDIT: Haha just saw this on TD home page. I could get a 320 gig for $80 or I could get a 250 gig for $80.

I just want one so I can get everything off my comp's internal HDD. And also so I can take files from PC to PC faster than over the network, and also my laptop only has a 5 gig HDD so it will be nice for that so I can take all the music from my desktop to my laptop.
