IS --- Here's a bit recycled from something I did for a youth center Dunno if it works for you in Oz. Google is my only connection with the vendor. --- Hard drive drawers and caddies. These allow to quickly swap hard drives without tools or futzing with jumpers. The more expensive models let you swap hard drives in and out while the computer is running. The benefits that removable hard drives solve are: 1) Most of the benefit of several completely different computer setups at the cost of several hard drives. 2) Simpler disc imaging. If a computer setup is bad you can pull the hard drive, replace it with one from the shelf, stick the mis configured hard drive into an 'imaging' station and restore it and put it on the shelf. These are the ones I've used for a couple years. I've had a couple 5-6 recycled year old hard drives fail. (maybe because they were dropped on the floor) The keys tend to wear out, but since you get extra keys this isn't a big deal. http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRP007-ata-66-100-plastic-hard-drive-drawer-w-fan-startech-computer-parts-ide66basic-shopping.htm This model is more expensive but perhaps more durable and certainly more stylish. http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRP071-startech-computer-parts-black-removable-ide-drive-drawer-rugged-w-shock-absorbers-drw113atabk-shopping.htm This model is made of metal instead of plastic and is probably more durable still. However, I wouldn't use the hot swapping software. http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRP06Y-startech-computer-parts-black-aluminum-ide-drive-drawer-w-shock-absorbers-drw115atabk-shopping.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I just buy the ones available at computer swapmeets... about $20 each or less, and pretty standard now. I prefer the ones with switches vs keys, and only one fan (multiple fans are noisy and IMHO overkill). If you want something for hot-plugging you will want something fancier. For hotplug I'd probably go for the new cheap external USB 2.0 or firewire caddies. > I am interested for information, specs, and esp uses and suppliers. IS > there a website that you know of?
