Hello, I have some extra HD's from older machines that I'd like to put on my network, but I don't want to leave these machines on (one doesn't even turn on anymore). What would you guys suggest I get? The cheaper the better. I just need to put them on my network. One HD already has an external enclosure. The other two HD's are internal and sitting in two different computers (80GB and 100GB).

Thanks!

Newegg has a half dozen models of external enclosures with ethernet ports.

Given the relatively high price of the ethernet-enabled enclosures ($65-91 each), instead of buying 2 or 3 for your current drives, you may want to consider buying one and a 250-300GB drive ($86-100). Then you can sell your old drives, spend less money, and consoldiate storage.
