No indication of fan. More photos at Newegg though deactivated status, http://www.Newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?depa=0&Item=17-146-171.

I have this the fan is on the bottom panel, it's small though

Good deal, GREEN

shipping for 2 was 7.49 for me.

How is this enclosure? Seems like a lot of hard drive enclosures at Newegg have pretty crappy functioning and reliability. My 5-yr old Dell is getting intolerably slow, so I want to throw an old 80gb WD HD I have lying around into an enclosure so I can back up everything on the Dell's HD and then reformat it and start fresh.

Anyone have any advice or tips on 3.5" HD enclosures? I guess a fan is a good thing to have, correct?

Thanks.

[EDIT 3/6/08: I ordered one of these a few days ago, will update once I receive it and try to get it working.]

I bought a couple of these this past November and have been reasonably satisfied in view of the price.

My major dislike was the AC power adapter arrangement - the cord from the currency converter module is too short and the friction fitting from the cable to the case is not that secure, so the AC plug has a tendency to be pulled out by the weight of the module - I ended up taping the module to the case.

However, one of the chargers has now gone bad. It has been in constant use since November. I can't find a replacement as it is very non-standard.

I have decided in for a penny, in for a pound and I am gong to order two more of them.

For the future I would like to know if anyone else has had problems with the AC adapter.
