External hard drive question

[Wes Mantooth]

ok if I got this Seagate HD drive and this USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure it should work right? I think this hard drive is compatible with this enclosure and its got all the correct USB/etc cables needed.

Am I forgeting anything? Any comments or advice?
Just wanted to doubled check before I buy.

I don't have either product but in the "reviews" section for the hard drive enclosure someone commented that they had success with a similar(same?) Seagate HD.

Summary:
Just put a 160gb Seagate in this enclosure. Nice looking, and keeps cool.

You need to make sure your motherboard supports USB 2.0 otherwise it will be god-awful slow.

Yes. One thing you may want to check on is Tiger Direct rebate policy if you have gotten some rebates already this year. I believe they have a limit on the number of rebates you can receive from them per year.

I am assuming you have the DIY Link? It is pretty straight forward.
