I'm an idiot...

The new hard drive arrived: 500 GB...and it's just a drive. No case, no cables.

What the hell do I do with it now?

*cries*

ETA: What I bought was a refurbished this (thank god for the internet, I was able to track it to the manufacture's website). If I'm reading it right, it can be used for external storage, which is what I want it for. But Seagate doesn't seem to sell casings, that I can find. *headdesk*

I have had bad "refurbished" experiences. I suppose that the label is only as legitimate as the people who put it there?

Also, hard drives just fail after so many years. It cannot be avoided. So, this one has a few fewer years than a new one. This is my magical reasoning? I will cling to it stubbornly.
