DVD Drive Enclosure (uk?)

[Shane]

Anyone from the UK know where i can pick up a cheap DVD Drive Enclosure so i can put a Sata DVD drive in it i have lying around?

Like this

I was just going to buy a new External drive,But theyre nearly £34-39,some even charge £59 which imo is a rip off when you can pick up a internal dvd drive for £14.99..

Thanks Matt,

Don't you think thats expensive for just a plastic case?...for an extra £7-8 i can buy a brand new LG External DVD-RW with Nero software
I'm not tight or anything,But £24 for just a little plastic box which they knock out hundreds in a minute is ridiculous imo.

I've created a thread in the For Sale section asking if anyone has one lying around they're not using...might strike some luck.

I think the external DVD Drive is around £30

Hey now thats more like it,If i cant get a cheap external case for my current one i might just snap one of those up if they come back in stock at Kikatek,only 26.97 for the whole thing!

I would go with an actual external drive, don't ask me why, that's just the way I feel

Im fed up with internals,ive had 2 fail on me...not that an external wont but....then you got vibrations making the case loud...then the extra cables....then bending down and everything to change a disk lol,yeah im lazy

my coolermaster 690 looks much better without a DVD drive and just my fan controller.

Is it just connected via USB? I may look into getting one. It'd get rid of that nasty IDE cable and let me add another 120mm fan to the front of my Antec 900

Yeah USB and power adapter....

My DVD drive is Sata....but still i hate it been in the front of my case,and like i said it makes the case rattle lol...at least if i get external housing for it i can fix the drive down good.
