2.5" HD Enclosure

[Windfire]

I'm looking for recommendations on a good, but afordable, 2.5" HD enclosure.

I'm upgarding my Dell 8600 laptop to a new HD and can put the old 40GB 4200rpm drive in an external case.

Recommenations? Stores?

I checked out NewEgg and they had 2 that I could find, but the $12 seems cheap and $30 might be more than I want to spend....

Why is $12 cheap? I got an aluminum one for like $6+s/h and it is perfect.

I just got this one at Newegg a few months back and it's been fantastic for me, much better than my 30Gb's original enclosure.

$19.98 after shipping and it comes with a nice wallet/case that has a place to stow the cord.

Perfect. Thanks. I think I'll order this one.

Just don't get nGear enclosures, they break a lot.

No problem, I like mine a lot. It gets passed around a lot and hasn't given me a lick of trouble.
