OK ! I understand what you are about ... and that price at US$69 does not make much sense when you compare it with Aus available Combo USB2 & Firewire plus box plus Power supply
all for about A$60 plus freight .

Look at these 2 places :-

LOL yes of course and in fact something like buying a few of these and gutting the bridges had crossed my mind.

as insane as such action may sound there is a reason for such madness - it is because as a result of a recent work server room clean out I have come in to possession of some, not so old, gutted branded cases having much Alpha Geek cachet .... so basically it's a nerd vanity thing ;)
