happy new year to ya's

quick question - i recovered my Hard disks from the flood at my house...

Is there a device i can plug them into then into my new computer so i can browse the HD as if it were an external drive?

yeah enclosures are relatively inexpensive, MAKE SURE IT IS THE SAME SIZE AS YOUR DRIVE AND COMPATIBLE!!!

COMPUSA or Tigerdirect.com have plenty

also check out these enclosures, I have three of them now and they use the Oxford Firewire chipset which is absolutely the best (at least on a mac)
