How do I turn an internal hard drive into an external one

[shervinj]

Hi everyone, I know you can buy a case for a scsi hard drive, but I have heard you can do this to an old internal one. I am planning on buying a larger one and using my twenty gig one for either mp3's or for ghosting. Not sure yet but eventually a larger one may be necessary. Any suggestions? Where would I look for the case? Thanks for the help

You're on the right track. There are several companies that manufacture external drive enclosures. If you search the For Sale/Trade forums for things like 'scsi enclosure', you'll find items like this, which should be exactly what you're looking for.

I saw what you were looking for at Newegg.com . I think it was in their harddrive accessories page.

hope this helps
