Why external? You can just go with internal and install them yourself in your system.

Lol ... yeah. Internal components are way cheaper. But if you want external components, it can save a lot of money to buy an internal component of your desire, then get an enclosure, instead of getting it premade.

Oh ya. I agree with that 100%. Those external devices you buy in a store are marked up way too high. Buy an internal hard drive, DVD drive, whatever, and buy one of these external enclosures for it. This way you are also garenteed to get the quality you want, rather then last years model that didn't sell great on it's own stuck in a box.
