If you have access to ebay, and have an ebat account you can get laptop harddrives off ebay for a very reasonable price, I got a 40GB for $45, about as much as a good external case would cost you, then you also wouldnt need to do all the hardware config and carry all the other stuff.

Re: Boot Windows from external HD??
true I forgot about ebay... I should of know. Yeh alot of people I have talked to said having an external HD to lug around all the time kinda defeats the idea of a portable laptop.

Thanks guys I think I will start searching eBay.

You could also try Impact Computers for laptop parts.
