Cheap Guys has them on the shelf, $29 ($31.54 out the door).  I bought 
three, installed 80 Gb drives, that are formatted for the various 
filesystems I use:  one each for, Linux EXT3;  a 5Gb Fat32, and a 75Gb 
Ext3;  and a HFS+ (MacIntosh OS X)... 

Been three weeks, no heat problems, yet!  Some stay on over night, when 
I fall asleep while letting them copy... AND, they run in USB 2.0 and/or 
Firewire 400!!!

Come with all the cables, PSU, and the proper OO philips screwdriver for 
the case screws!
