That case is, at the same time, the highest quality case that I've seen, 
yet it is also one of the least expensive that I've seen.  

It has an aluminum body which acts as a heat sink (which means that there 
is no need for a fan and no fan noise), and which muffles the sound of 
the internal mechanism better than plactic, which gives you a very quite 
external drive.

I've recommended this case to a large number of folks and no one has had 
anything but praise for it yet...
