Anybody use "pci rack anywhere" in their case?

I know it's not XP specific, but come on.

Anybody use this PCI rack for an HDD? I see a pic where they have an HDD on
it, but I thought I would get other opinions. They make it sound like I will
not have to drill any holes in my case. Does that sound right for an old ATX
midtower.

Mark:
I suppose this device might be useful if you have some specialized use for
it and you simply don't want to give up your present case. I recall seeing
this item (or one just like it) some while back but really haven't worked
with it.

But given the fact that you say you have an "old ATX midtower", might you
instead consider a brand-new relatively inexpensive computer case similar to
the ones listed here?

The item you're considering costs $19 (incl. shipping) . A brand-new case
will cost as little as $33 (incl. shipping) and for about $40 you can get a
power supply thrown in (we won't comment on its "quality")! So for a
relatively few bucks more I wonder whether that would be the way for you to
go assuming you have no problem giving up your present case.
