I was thinking of getting a USB Hard Drive case for my PS2 Hard Drive so I could use it on my computer (using WinHIIP) without taking it in/out of the computer (and I don't have any extra slots either), but I don't know what size I should get. I have a Maxtor 160GB hard drive, so could I get a 2.5" USB Hard Drive case? Or do I have to get a 3.5"? And where can I find them for cheap (I can't find a 3.5" under $20)?

Size of the enclosure has nothing to do with your HDD capacity. You need to get a 2.5" or 3.5" depending on the physical size of the HDD

Have a look on ebay :)

Damn, Maxtors are 3.5"

So where can I get a USB Hard Drive case (besides eBay)?

I'm pretty sure maxtor makes 2.5" HDDs too...

Well the most obvious place to look for is a computer shop, that's where I got mine. Otherwise have a search on google to see if you can find a good deal around where you live, can't give you much suggestion as I'm not even in the US :)

I read in some article that they only make 2.5" notebook drives, and everything else was 3.5".

Not quite sure what you mean, but laptops take 2.5" because it's smaller, and desktops take 3.5" because it's cheaper, it iS possible to put a 2.5" in a desktop, but no one does that because for the same price you can either get a 40GB 2.5" or 200GB 3.5"...
