This “Ghetto Drive” was built by taking the innards of an Iomega external USB2/Firewire drive and implanting them into an ordinary cardboard box. The drive was built because the fan broke in the original enclosure and like a true maker, this one decided not to shell out the cash for a new one.

How is this even worth posting?
This is a very weak Make.
exept from being noisy, ugly and bulky
cooling a hardrive, according to google labs, could even make it more likely to fail.

I would rather get one of these SATA-docks or usb-ide converters and travel around with the bare HDs the only thing you have to do is to sufficiently protect the circuit-board.
