1.0 out of 5 stars Almost worthless junk, September 8, 2006
The sides and front consist of very thin metal sheets with holes. This may improve cooling, assuming your're using it somwhere with high winds, but makes it far less sturdy - they're held in place only by slots in the four corner posts.
I was using mine for a SATA drive, so ripped out the IDE connector for more space (why are these always such a tight fit?)
Has no internal fan for cooling, which would be helpful. At least you can flip the top panel to provide a flat black sruface without the logo (if you want to hide it). As often, I question the electronics in these type of units - mine is erratic and frequently not recognized. Personally, I've had the best results from Vantec 3 cases.

3.0 out of 5 stars Normally Functioning, but the design is too bad, August 24, 2006
By Y. Li "crazyeti" (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews

I can't even put my hard disk inside, and thus I have to leave the case open

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst external cases available, May 23, 2007
By G. Harris "socko" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased a few of these cases because they were IDE/SATA compatible and metal. However, they are extremely poorly made. It is very difficult to get a disk in the enclosure and once in, you cannot fasten the disk in place, so it flops around inside -- the holes in the case are in the wrong place. What's more, SATA drives only fit upside down (and barely, at that since there's no clearance for the cable so it gets smashed). Definitely NOT a good purchase!

The build quality is kind of filmsy.
It's much like assembling a puzzle. Also, the drive is sort of laying on the metal bottom (screwed on, but still). Read more
