I got both of my cases off ebay too (shipped from PRC
or ROC). I don't think there will be any fuse blown;
if there isn't enough current the disk just won't spin

Hi Matt,
The HD enclosure is made by Archos, called a QDISK P/N QHD-1-B, with a lead

I bought just the enclosure, and originally used

Yes, I know, I even have one of those laying around somewhere. But I need

Great, I'm going to look in to these!
I might even consider (if we're going for a battery-powered unit anyway) to

Another alternative is of course to use an enclosure with a PCMCIA card instead.
