Made from 60% FSC certified wood and intended to be re-used in the sense that you can pull out tiny, obsolete hard drives and pop in newer, bigger ones, the Peter Kinne Designs Hard Drive Enclosure adds a bit of warm nature to your desktop (while providing the same USB/IDE connectivity that lets you keep the innards cheap and easily upgradeable). This is just the enclosure; you add in whatever internal IDE hard drive you want. It's easy, though, he says: if you can put together a bookshelf from Ikea, you can manage this. Contact him for prices and availability. [GT]
