I have an 320 gb sata hdd. I wanna have an external casing for it. Can you guys suggest an avg price/good looking 3.5" HDD SATA\IDE casing. I dont wanna go for costly ones, as i am gonna spent from my pocket

Please help me out in selecting a good casing

Thanks in advance.

for 700 bucks you can get a decent casing from intex or frontech

transcend is quite good, if you are looking for budget cases.
Are you looking for advanced features like backup buttons, multi hdd RAID, eSATA, Firewire 800, etc ? Because these features can't come in your budget.
I heard that transcend is available in grey markets for around Rs. 0.6k.

transcend drives *were* available in the grey market for 0.6k, but I am not sure now. I stay in bangalore, and I think me sending it to you would end up being costlier than buying one by paying a little extra.

As you only want basic features, you needn't be after transcend also. Just look for a case that looks like it can withstand some stress(by keeping another two harddiscs/optical drives on it), is(preferably) scratch proof and good looking.

And you need to ensure that your HDD fits snugly in it and is well cushioned.
