How much will you bet that the "made" external drives use the same drives you put in your desktop?

I was checking prices of external hard disk drives at a mall the other day. The stores I checked offered what looked like standard internal HDDs with variously-designed, separate metal cases. All the cases had required openings in their backs for wiring and small sliding trays on which to screw down a hard drive.
However, most external hard drives I've seen advertised on the Internet seem especially made to be used externally. These often are larger and have heavier cases that look like they were made to be portable and take punishment.
Question: is there any problem with just sticking an internal HDD inside one of these special cases and calling it an external drive?
