Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I would like to build my own external hard drive. Can anyone recommend some good enclosures? Doesn't have to have firewire support, but would be nice.
Seagate just upped their warranties for five years, so I figure I can build an external much cheaper than I can buy it built.
I would like for the case to have an external power supply instead of draining the computer.
Would appreciate the help,
Candy

Wow, Newegg has redesigned the site since I looked at them last. I like the little eggs for product reviews!
I was looking at some enclosures at CompUsa, but didn't really like their brand. Somewhere I saw a case that actually had shock absorbers in it, but now I can't remember where.
Senility creeps in again.
Thanks for the help,
Candy
