Quiet quality external HDD case

Hello, I am looking for a couple of HDD case.
Most of them that I saw in stores look very cheap and just a plastic box.
Are there some quality ones with study build, good ventilation and silent (most important factor)?
Thank you.

Thank you Matija.
So you think the defrag won't start during the screensaver activity due to HDD activity?

Thank you Im.
But this was just an example.
My main question is whether the defrag starts during the screensaver activity.

Vista screensaver and defragmentation

My friend and I was debating about Vista's own defragmenter. Microsoft says that it defrags HDD when the PC is idle. However we couldn't agreen on What defines IDLING, especially on the following example? Let's say you set up your computer to start a screensaver after 10 min of idling and turn off t...

I have a DFI LP JR M2RS as my sig shows. It is mATX but I could put a big cooler (Noctua NH-C12P) which have a 120mm fan. And my 4850 takes up 3 slots (the card itself + Accelero S1 + Turbo module). Still it have an empty PCI slot at the end of the board for my sound card. If you need 2 PCI slots, t...

I have a Diamond 4850 with Accelero S1 and Turbo module. I have the original VRM sinks and Accelero Ramsinks. The idle temp is about 40C and 56C on load. Furmark 10min temp was 62C if I remember correctly. I believe that you have 1. Faulty temp sensors or 2. Improper sitting of Accelero or 3. Defect...

Buy any cheapest 4850 that has VRM sinks.
Then you can put Accelero S1 with supplied RAM sinks.
Just don't forget to put a fan, or buy a turbo module with it.
Of course, Twin Turbo version will be the best though.

I have a Diamond which had 75 degrees on idle and 90 degrees on load with the default fan speed. It was hot but didn't have any stability issue. Then I put Accelero S1 which gave me 50 degrees on idle and 60 degrees on load. However, it became very unstable on many games which didn't make sense sinc...
