Default External Hard Drive Case

I'm in the market for a new case since my old one screwed up and shorted the board on my harddrive. With this one I would like Firewire since this is the hd for my movies and music. I'm looking on Newegg right now for a case.
Any suggestions?

Needs to have:
USB 2.0
FireWire
Quiet
Perferablly stackable.
3.5"

Hmm. That looks really nice. Fan, which I would like. Do they have a version with IEEE?
Nice price too!

Edit: Shit! 56 for the IEEE version.


Is it even worth anything extra for IEEE? I noticed that alot of people said they had problems with it.

I'm pondering selling my 160 gig external for 60 or 70 to a friend, getting a 30 buck 200 gig HD and buying two of those cases...That would make me happy... I'll have to think about it and get the word out.
