Have been thinking about getting one of the new Lian Li external enclosures....

Either an Ex-10 or Ex-20.

Anyone have one yet? Performance PCs has them for about $125/135 but I was searching around for a lower price. Doesn't seen many places carry them.

Those are pretty nice. Hard to find though. I personally want the 2 bay hotswap cage myself. Good luck finding it though. Contact Lian Li, as I've done before, and they'll try to hook you up with a dealer.

I grabbed a Macally, which is actually pretty decent. It's been running a year straight with one of my old 250 GB WD drives and the hard drive is in excellent shape. It's a good alternative if you want a high quality enclosure.

This is a photo of another one I have that I've been wanting to get powder coated.

Paying over $100 for an external enclosure is in the same league as buying that Tt Level 10 case - just asinine.
 
But you can use the External enclosures with the interal hotswap bays from Lian-li. Think you can take your media drive out of your main machine over to a friends and plug it right into his machine. then add it back to your main machine instantly.

Agreed but it would be even better for a HTPC as hard drives are now cheaper per GB than optical media. Find a place to buy those rails and you're styling. It would also be sweet to plug into something like those Joybee projectors where you can play stuff through a USB port.
 
was looking at the mcnally case and it would be perfect for Pico-ITX mini mac system. looks almost exactly like a macpro case.

Yep, seriously thinking about grabbing some of those and selling my old Vantec hotswap bays and cages. The Kingwin's are less than $20 bucks each. Can't really go wrong with that.
