    External HDD

    Alright, I replaced my PS3's 40GB HDD with a much larger one months ago, but haven't done anything with it. I have now planned on turning into an external HDD, but I have no idea where to start. I know that I need a case and some wires, but I have no idea which ones, if they are specific to drive type, and where I could get them. I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers. The drive is a Seagate 40GB 2.5" SATA.

    The case would include all the wires needed correct?
    EDIT: I found one on Newegg that looks decent, what do you think? Here are all the ones I'm looking at.
