Have you seen the "MacPower" cases? I have two of their "Clearlight" cases, which take laptop hard-drives & usually don't need any power aside from the USB or Firewire cable. They were not cheap, but my satisfaction with the first one left me no hesitation about buying the 2nd. If you like aluminium cases, the build quality of the Pleiades seems very good - the shell must be 1mm thick, and it's all well-formed - none of it is cheaply cast or moulded. Stroller.
