    Sweeeeeet Case dude. Just One thing though - You're looking for a MCW20-U from swiftech. Why -U? If you need to use an intel board with that thing ever, it'll hook to the clips. Next off - that res, how much was it to make? I'm considering just making a 5 1/2 one rather than paying the $40 for a pre-made.

    It's actually the MCW20-A I need. The res was just made from 4mm thick plexi, nice and cheap to make.

    Yes, but the -U will give you both adaptors. As to the blocks, i can get em at two or three places here - no such luck on the other side of the pond?

    My precious!!

    Took over an hour to do a full format :D I'm just transferring the data across now. When I've finished messing with drive letters and removing my 60Gb Maxtor, I'm going to run a Western Digital diagnostic on both the 100Gb and the 250Gb drives. It may take some time :naughty:

    £186 including delivery from ebuyer. Formatted, it's 222Gb. I have a 100Gb (93Gb formatted) with 4Gb free at the moment, and my 60Gb Maxtor is nearly full as well.

    So many bits.... So little hdd space....

    It's a rip off... a 250 should have at least 250 useable!!! after formating!!!! IMHO...
    Looks good! keep it up.

    Wicked Li'l Bender: I hope you aint taking the 'piss' but the size diff after formating is because manufacturers take 1000 rather than 1024 bits to a kbit.

    Very nice Ouija! You should have gotten the 200 and saved some moolah, your paying premium for the extra 50 (which you dont get....:p)

    Believe me, I need it :naughty: I am considering getting another and setting them up on RAID. Not yet though.

    And yes, if I wasn't at work I would probably have replied and also mentioned the manufacturers using 1000s rather than 1024s when advertising drives. Technically, they shouldn't because a kilobyte is NOT 1000 bytes and this could be classed as false advertising or the item not being as described, which it is meant to be. Anyways, who cares? I have more gigs than Iron Maiden and it's time to fill them all up :p
