(More customer reviews)Bought this to use with a cd burner removed from an old laptop.
The case was about 2 mm too long so it wouldn't snap together so after testing the circuit portion outside of the case I sawed off a small amount of the front plastic to create a perfect fit.
Only other quirk was that the first time plugged in the usb and the power were plugged in at the same time and it didn't work. After moving the usb to another port and NOT plugging in the power until after it started running, it worked. So not sure if it just needed to be on a different usb port or if the combination of plugging in the usb and the power at the same time the first time was a problem.
Good solid case but wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't used to tinkering with computers.
