I got an enclosure a month ago for $75. It took roughly 5
minutes to install the drive, and that's because I wanted
to be careful. It's worked like a champ so far. My Mac
buddy said to look for an enclosure with the Oxford 911
chipset, so I did. I'm sure there are other good chipsets,
and even more sure there are some that aren't so good. Once
you have the enclosure, you can upgrade to a bigger drive
just for the price of the drive . . . a couple months
ago an 80GB drive was around $100.
