those acomdata cases are great...fanless aluminum
I guess the main worry I have is this: Is the drive itself any good?
What drives are in those Acondatas? Or Fantoms?

I bought a 250 GB Firewire Acomdata. About a year later it started causing kernel panics and randomly dismounting, then suddenly stopped working altogether. Cracked the case and found a Western Digital drive inside, which I transplanted into a OWC Neptune case, where it has performed perfectly ever since. Moral of the story for me: Acomdata = bad, regardless of the drive inside.
Those Fantom cases look almost identical to Acomdata's cases; I'm guessing they come from the same factory.
