Portable Hard drive?

[*GandaBerunda*]

some time back in digit (or chip) i had read a tut about making a usb 2.0 portable hard drive using a 2.5'' HDD and a casing. i have a extra 3.5'' hard drive 80 gb hard drive which i want to convert to a portable hard drive. it is not for backup purposes. is it possible to convert it into a portable HDD? i don't care if it is bulky...? can someone tell me where can i get the casing? i live in bangalore.

yeah u sure can , u can simply buy a 3.5" Hard drive acsing n put the hdd into it n then use it as a normal external hdd .

normal hdd casings cost bout 0.5k , n u'll find em at most computer shops.
