When pricing parts, don't forget shipping and taxes. Disk drive prices fluxuate faster than I can update this matrix.
CD Disk Space estimation based on Hi Fidelity encoding. As a general rule of thumb:
Studio Quality (average 256kps) = 6 CDs/ 1 Gig
HiFi (average 160kps = 12 CDs / 1 Gig
Radio (average 128kps) = 20 CDs / 1 Gig.
Your mileage may vary.
The current case is the cheapest 3 bay Desktop case I could find. The paint job is done by a local auto-body shop, so purchasing a black one out the door is of little value. There are a couple of other options you can go with. First of all feel free to pick you own case if you want something smaller. Barber has a very nice selection of low-profile desktop cases. This may require the LCD to be in a separate enclosure, which may be beneficial for viewing. Note the prices don't touch the $40 I can get the current case for. Another very nice case is the all Aluminum Cooler Master available from Directron. This could be configured with a 2x16 character LCD for a very nice looking device. Unfortunately, the price for the case alone is $220+. The 16x2 LCD does knock $20 off the LCD price.
