There's two options. A complete external firewire drive, or just an external case and he installs the HD of his choice. If he needs huge amounts of storage? Granite digital makes a very slick system where they have a sub case the HD fits into and that then plugs into the external drive case, giving you the ability to have one external drive case you can plug any number of drives into. Serious storage. I case, 5, 10, 20 or ? 80 Gig or larger drives. <G> In the 40-100 GB range there's a veritable plethora of competing vendors. One make or the other is almost always on sale. Start watching the Mac resellers web sites. OS X handles firewire external HD's great. Jack Russell -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
