The whole idea seems completely impractical. What kind of heat dispersal is going on? I'm inclined to say that the fancy Genesis game case isn't going to last very long under the heat of the hard drive, much less provide adequate support to diminish mechanical vibrations.
And only 80GB... that's really skimpy. You can get a portable hard drive with more than twice that capacity for about the same price, or at least a far far better cost : capacity ratio.

What do I think? Interesting concept, but the execution at first glance leaves a lot to be desired, especially since you don't really go into much detail about the construction.
Plus that whole forum policy jazz, I guess that's important, too. :P
