Hardware lg drive external case question

[Kevenater]

I ordered one of the lg drives to make backups of my games. Will an external hard drive case work or does it have to specify that it's for a disc drive? After looking at some online I'm under the impression that a case is a case as long as it has the right type of hookups inside. Ide and usb 2.0 is what I'll need.

If it is made specifically for a HDD then chances are the DVD drive wont fit. There are cases that are suitable for both though
