search "transend 3.5 sata enclosure" in ebay. should be around 1.8k. :)
1.8 looks slightly expensive. Is it worth it?
That's quite high for a casing. Better to shell out 1.8k more and get an USB 3.0 ext. 500GB HDD.
I have couple of SATA internal HDD so wanted to use them as external HDD
there are plenty on ebay (non branded). reliability could be an issue.
Yes i understand reliability could be an issue hence would prefer to go for branded one even though it may be expensive. Will appreciate if you can post any links?
Not really! An external casing allows you utilise more than one HDD either alternately or consecutively - when one is full, use the next. Also, most external casings have only an upper limit for the capacity of the HDD you can use. For a casing with an upper limit for the HDD pegged at 1 TB, for example, you can use 1 TB, 500 GB or even a 250 GB HDD in it. Internal HDDs used in external casing are faster too if the USB 3 port is not merely for names sake, and that makes it a very good deal in my book.:-D
Can you please suggest a good external HDD case? One of my friends suggested Sedna but that's not currently available.

Well, I could suggest the one (AirBox eSATA/USB2 External 3.5" HDD Enclosure) I am using, but wouldn't because two simple reasons:

1. It's an old model and does not have USB 3. Of course, it also has eSATA port for higher speed, but that is only SATA 2. Fine, if you can live with that, but availability may be a problem too. Then comes another big con -
2. With built-in illuminated cooling fan and all that, it is much more expensive than even the Transcend box you referred to.

If you ask me, Transcend is a reasonably good brand and hence reliability should not be a problem and, once again, Rs. 1.8k isn't really too high a price for that. You can get for half that price some low-end or no-name brand product, but if I were you I would stay away from those, because I suffered once! It actually damaged my WD HDD, presumably due to its inadequate power supply. I was lucky in that my HDD was still under warranty and I could get it replaced!

Yep, it does. :D
I have flown it only indoors for fear of losing it. Its tricky to control and I still cant control i properly but the rated range is a healthy 10m :)

Controlling Helicopter is very tough. Mine crashed for several times and blade is broken :(

Isn't that illegal? :facepalm:
It isn't illegal. The each dealer has a number allotted to him. He puts up the temp number, as it's illegal to drive without one, and no one would like to wait ~3 months to get an HSRP made and fixed on his/her vehicle. That way, it's easier to zero in a particular dealer who sold the vehicle, in case of a mishappening involving the vehicle.
:p I've been out of touch, for long.
Epic purchases here.
Congos bssunil, Nipun (or should I say congos to nipun's brother :-D).
People here, have been playing a lot.:-D Congos, pranav0091, when should I expect a ride?:p

Had a difficult time for around past 1 month. My phone's display went dead, so, ordered a Flex Cable from Hongkong, China, through, ebay.com for 700 bucks. It got delivered in about 20 days, and now my phone's again functional.
Then the day I got the phone functional, my laptop's adapter blew. So, ordered it from FK on 23rd night for 787 bucks, and today, I got it delivered today.

How much did this cost you?

1.9k. Though I found it online later at 1.3k, I have had so much fun that I dont regret it :D
Thinking of getting a proper heli now, unlike this toy. It cant really do the angled-to-the-side liftoff which i so badly wanna see :(
Or maybe I just havent figured it out yet..

Congrats buddy! I wanted to buy this for my daughter but she is just around 2 years so thinking should I buy or no?
Can I have the link for where it's available for 1.3k.

Nope. Definitely no. It too dangerous not to mention I dont believe anyone under the age of, say, 10 would be able to control a RC helicopter. Its just too tricky, kind of like learning to balance a cycle. Not to mention it can hurt a child.

Here, I found something for under 800 rupees :) :(
