No, I'm scared to find out how much it would cost to get it fixed, I 
got the enclosure about 26 months ago on clearance, and it was less 
than $100.  I'm firmly convinced that I can buy the one enclosure 
that's being sold on eBay to get all of the parts that I need, and 
fix it myself.  As near as I can tell the only real difference is the 
front of the case.  The back of it and the DuoGB are *IDENTICAL*.
