Not bad. Could you pm me the code? ^_~

Seems pretty cool. A semi-decent enclosure (specs/looks anyways) + card that cant be TERRIBLE. for $30 seems worth biting.. Never can have enough external enclosures.
 
My current enclosure is a POS, so i went for this. I picked up a $1.99 mouse for the "other item". Shipping was $9, which is kind of steep, but for just under $39 shipped I'll get the enclosure, the PCI card and a cheap mouse. Good deal IMHO.

Edit: They have the Magicstore 2.2GB CF+ Type II MicroDrive for $82.50 (plus shipping). There is a 10% off code out there (i think it's still valid) making it $74.25. This would have to be a seperate order from the deal in the OP.
 
I bought that enclosure a little over a month ago ($16 + shipping). It looks nice and works great. I put a cheapie BTC 16x DL DVD burner in it.

should be fine. i've had my dvd burner in an external burner and it detected and burnt w/ no problems. just make sure when you're installing it, the dvd burner is set to master. my friend had trouble w/ his and finally got it to work after reading the manual.

Hi, can anyone who purchased the same enclosure please tell me how you mount a 3 1/2 inch hard drive or the 5 1/4 cd rom into the enclosure? There isn't anything screws, or mounts to secure the drive! Please let me know if I am missing things from the package. Thx!
