I have a Dane Elec 512 drive that runs great even after washing it! I just got a corsair 1gig that I like a lot also. Just make sure that it's sturdy. Stay away from the clear ones as they tend to break easy if you drop it. Get someting with a rubber coating.

ASUS A7N8X-E DELUXE
2500+ Barton OC to 3200+
1gig Corsair XMS
Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq 128mb
Antec True Power 430w
Dual 40gig WD.

i had a cigar clear one and it broke...lantz is right. Get one that is hard plastic. also think about how ur gona carry it, I like to have mine on my keys...but the replacement i bought had a really skimpy hole that broke. the drive still works but now i cant attach it to my keys. I have washed my new one several times by mistake though and it still works...i forgot the brand though. the internal quality (data starage) is pretty much the sam on all of them....but the outside is what counts.
hope this helps,
Cody

I like A-Data's JOGR series. They're encased in soft rubber (feels like the stuff they use in raquetballs) and are nice and sturdy.

"if it ain't broke, upgrade anyway."
