I'm looking to get a network drive enclosure for a hard drive I have right now. I'm looking specifically for an enclosure I can access from many computers hooked up to the same router.

I currently have a hard drive, but it may be dying, so if you have an enclosure with a drive that has 100GB+ of space on it... we can deal!

Keep in mind, I don't wanna spend over $100, and that's the absolute highest I'm able to go, so I'd rather pay less.

Please post here if you think you might have what I need.

I have an Ximeta 120GB (USB 2.0 and 10/100eNet) NAS I'm thinking about selling, but it's almost brand new and your offer is a bit low. If you could raise it a bit (or offer a trade) I would consider parting with it.

Yeah, sorry, that's why I'm also looking for just the enclosure on its own. I can't afford anything over $100, and that's really my absolute limit, sorry.

I thought you said that the drive is dying?

I'm not really sure if it is. When accessed from my Powerbook, the drive makes all sorts of weird noises, and takes forever to mount and transfer stuff. From my girlfriends Mac Mini, though, it's really fast. I'm thinking it may just be the fact that the Powerbook only has USB 1.1 (I think), and the Mini has 2.0, but I dunno.
