Tiger Direct and Computer Geeks sell lots of external drive cases

I buy a fair amount from the Geeks who offer good prices and a 
satisfaction guarantee.  I've had to return two items over the last 
several years.  One case was a product that just wasn't suitable to my 
purposes as soon as I saw the thing in the flesh.  It had a mounting 
oddity that made it incompatible with my computer case.  The other was a 
product that failed in less than a year.  Returns are no hassle.
