USB enclosure

So I still had problems with my BeyondTV HTPC system. The damn thing would need a reboot every few hours. Finally, I got a USB enclosure to put my big HD in, removed the extra IDE PCI card, and installed the new 4.8.1 version of Beyond TV. It seems that the system may now be stable. And I can take nearly a TB of video with me when I travel easily!

I also recently bought a 1 TB drive for work-related stuff. Only $230! That is freaking amazing. Someone should make a cheap device to RAID cheap USB/firewire drives. Something like drobo but just plug in a bunch of drives and let it appear like a single mass drive?
