hi, i got a new one off ebay for $40 and I love it. no problems with anything breaking off for me so far. compared to another 2.5" firewire/usb enclosure i have, i like how it's easy to install, without really needing screws and fiddling with backplates, etc. the end cover just slides right on.
the indicators for power and disk access are nice too. it's compact and "titanium" colored to match my powerbook. most enclosures don't even have an on/off switch so i consider it a nice bonus. john >Hi > >Has anyone else bought, or had probs with their PowerBoy >FW drive enclosure?

But I did notice, just now, Dealmac announed 'Geeks has >dropped the price of the enclosure to $49. Gee, I wonder why! > >Thanx, >Gene -- __________________________________________________ John K.
