Any one ever try one of these??

I picked up this external USB 5.25 IDE drive enclosure (with a DVD/RW in it) at a second hand shop for $10. Just wondering if I made a good find?
It seems to work - from the quick test I gave it yesterday..

here is the link to the product in Question:

Never tried one.

But that "mark yourself on the map" thread suggests you and I literally live on the same floor of the same apartment complex. (Brighton Village)

Though, I am moving tomorrow :p

NEED it.. no... I just saw it and it just seemed like a really good deal.

tried to find some online reviews but I could not find any that were reputable... that is why I am asking here.

Ha, that is pretty sweet.

I'm moving to White Bear Lake tomorrow, so if you see a sexy wood computer getting carried to a Penske truck by a big guy in a cutoff, that is me :p


Sorry to threadcrap, just thought it was pretty crazy to see someone that lives (literally) a stone's throw away, on an international forum!

That is cool. I agree.

I bought a setup like that for my Netbook.
Cost me 30 bucks for the Drive and 40 Bucks for the enclosure. (Can)

I'll say you made a real good find!
