i've recently bought one of these which looks like a very nice enclosure.

if i get time later, i'll bung a spare drive in and test it. if i didn't have a drive to use, i'd be looking at one of these to go in it.

you might feel happier buying one ready made off the shelf. i'm sure someone has some suggestions on that score

750 gig for £78.81p inc vat
Always make sure you specify a "fan cooled" enclosure..

Only other probs I've had is cooling fan gets a little noisy after a while, scares crap out of folks thinking H/D is going tits up
easy to do>> 4 screws endplate>> 2 screws fan>> lift off sticker and put a cocktail stick with a little bit of graphite grease on the bearing
DO NOT LEAVE COCKTAIL STICK inside the enclosure

have a look at this one in Maplins.

That one is not fan cooled and do have a tendency to get a wee bit warm if left on over 3 hours
My fan cooled ones are on up to 14 days continuous, without probs..
