    If your in the market for a 2.5" enclosure, this sure is a nice product. It allows you to watch multimedia content available on the HDD on your home entertainment system without the need of a computer.

    Vantec AVOX

    Ya I tried to find it at some stores but couldn't. It seems it's still brand new or something.

    But Vantec's products are looking nicer each day :)

    I see vantec are quite popular. I also have 2 enclosures by vantec, 2.5" Nexstar, and 5.25" Nexstar2. And was lookin for a 3.5" when I bumped into the AVOX.

    By the way, notice on vantec's main page a link to a new 3.5" enclosure (GX) that seems to be really interesting (I might actually wait for it). It features a USB hub, variable/controlable cooling, AND it turns on and switches off automatically with the computer ... WOW ... no need to press a button :D ... I hope it will be out soon!
