Wish I wasn't up against a bunch of job deadlines, I'd drive downtown and give you a ride to a store; love to chat about AZ with you.

It's difficult; the stores in your area are typical office/retail places like office max and office depot; they'd have external disk drives, but not the drive cases. CDW closed their downtown location last year.

Call the Chicago Cyber Exchange, (312) 337-4882, address 455 W North Ave- just a few miles from you. They might have one.

Otherwise, the Microcenter, 2645 Elston Avenue (773) 292-1700 is probably a 12 to 15 minute cab ride.
