I thinking to get External Hard Drive.. for my files such..

So.. My options get Hard Drive and External Case and put it together..

Or buy already one that ready..

Here one I had my eye on..
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=218&language=en
for like 117$..

Or should I build my own..?
What would you recomend.. which external hard drive.. or which External Hard Case.. if I will build one.
 
You should build your own, I have had a couple, the big thing is to read reviews on cases because there are alot of them that are garbage. I currently Venus case that is really nice, it has a slim 80mm fan, power switch.

Find a hard drive you want and then find a case that it will work in, Mine is currently an older 160Gb seagate IDE drive in there. If I were buying a drive specifically for an external case, I'd go with a sata drive and a case that supports firewire, usb 2.0 is just too slow.
