750 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive (to be cased and used as external)

Software : Uncle T's Jukebox v 3.23 with custom skin

EDIT - Picked up a 750GB SATA Hard Drive to install into the PC itself.
However the PC was IDE and not SATA. I ordered several adapters from Ebay hoping one would work. Of the four purchased none did! (All the sellers were asked prior if any issue would be caused due to the large size of the HDD)
Upon discovering that the HDD could not be used internally I decided I would simply case the HDD and use it as an external. Initially I didn't want to do that.
But as plans evolved for the jukebox and the idea of making it "portable" became the definitive plan it made more sense.
