You can get rather nice aluminium (or plastic if you wish) boxes in 3 
different sizes that will take 2.5", 3.5" or 5.25" drives.  The largest 
box will take CD drives or hard drives.  This way you can put whatever 
size drive with whatever OS you want inside.  There are at least I-Rock 
and Welland brands available locally, and there are plenty of models, 
ranging in price from about $20.00 and up.  Go and have a look at ...

If you don't know a dealer who sells this stuff, give me a call and I 
can probably help out.

Cheers
Kev
