Can't speak for the other models, but the 750 case won't hold a 19mm drive
w/o modification (ie cutting holes in it, which I did back in the days when
the difference in price between a 19mm and 12.7mm drive were a lot larger
than now). The case for a 750 will take a 17mm, tops.

That's an astonishing price. Not to be overly skeptical, but are you sure
that's not a 3.5?
