I seen a few of these around. Its like an external but you can plug it into a tv and watch your movies straight off the HD. Im tired of encoding and burning DVD's. Im not sure which ones good or even where i can buy a good one at a good price. I dont need alot of space.. 40 gigs is fine.

Anyone know of one?

You can always use less of a larger HD, but you can NEVER use more with a smaller one.
Movies = Large files... Get a large HD. :thumbsup::laugh:
* Buy This Enclosure - Load your movies via USB 2, watch them on your TV.
* Buy This HD - Runs quiet and cool, which is very important for a HD stuffed into a 3.5" enclosure.

How exactly does that enclosure work, meaning...if I ripped my own movies(which I've already purchased) to an .ISO, would it play them? If not, what would you use to get them to the HDD?

He's running it with a 250GB Samsung HD, just like the one I linked you up with.
Take Newegg "reviews" with a large amount of salt (a grain isn't enough). :laugh:
