I'm looking online for an external hard drive + firewire enclosure. Finding a reasonably priced site that will ship to Europe is proving difficult. Anyone know of any reliable online vendors of hard drives and such in Europe or that will ship here?
Thanks.

You need to watch out, because the Metric MB is 1,024 bytes, while the Imperial MB is 1,000 bytes. So, if you order a 200 GB drive from the U.S., your European computer will only report it as about 190 Metric GB.
Seriously, though, you might want to look for the firewire enclosure and the hard drive separately...

I use www.preissuchmaschine.de . They're in German, but their linked dealers should ship within the EU.
And a LaCie d2 250GB is called the same in German or English.

Klasse!
Not bad at all.... doesn't take a genius to figure out hard drive = festplatte.
Firewire enclosure on the other hand could prove a bit trickier...
Thanks!
