Protect Your External Hard Drive With a Cooling Case

I've already told you that it's probably a good idea to get an external hard drive to back up your data, but they aren't always the most attractive things to put on your desk. But if you have a good sense of humor, and an affinity for wacky desk accessories, then you'll totally love these External Hard Drive Cases from Meninos.

Not only are these cases fun, but they also keep your hard drive cool with a two fan cooler, and they come with a number of essential cords like the USB 2.0, an external AC adapter, and of course a power cord. I could call these kooky and silly, but one word I won't be able to use to describe these cases is: cheap. Each case comes in at $190 bucks, and if you want to buy a hard drive with the case, the price only goes up from there!
