Well, The first thing that comes to mind is, just putting a hard drive,
for the sake of a one-time backup, then removing it.
Mount the drive on a drive tray (about $15).

I would like to put a second internal HD in my desktop pc and connect it for
backup.
Once the backup is complete i would disconnect it.
Machine has easy to remove side plate, and it is easy to connect the hd.
no external connections, no external boxes, etc.
sata to sata is very fast.

That will work but it's too much trouble. Get eSata (external sata).

It comes with a bracket for the back of the computer.
Oh, and don't waste time doing 'backups' drive to drive (upload
those). You want to image.
Hold the phone..
I'm doing pretty much what your'e thinking about.
I have a removable drive via an older version of this

I then use Karen's Replicator

Not sure why it's too much trouble if it's that easy to open the case. I do
somewhat the same thing on my machine, partly because i have five internal
drives I have no desire to buy cases for all of them. I have a drive for my
music and another drive for data etc. The only issue really is that
Some people have easy access to the case, many don't. I leave my own
case half open year round. But eSata basically costs nothing, and
improves the sturdiness of the system with a rear mounted bracket.
Hot swap of eSata is a whole 'nother issue. Mine usually works,
despite having my SATA running
