  My desktop finally conked off...
  
  Managed to salvage back my harddisk... Thinking of converting it into an external storage...
  
  Any recommendation of external casing?

  u leave it at open air wont be too hot one la. u see hdd inside the pc also no fan for it... unlike processor need at least a stock fan and a heat sinker. since the casing is metal, and there will be nothing covering it, the heat will be conducted to the metal first then dissipate to the surrounding. power supply cable its included in the package.
