I just ordered a pair of USB 2.0 enclosures for US$16 each. They include power supply and fan. Since I bought the 5.25" version, they will hold the 5.25" hard drives, the 3.5" hard drives (using included mounting adapter), and 5.25" CD/DVD drives. I bought two so that I could put a 200GB drive in one (it's just sitting in another machine at the moment) and a DVD burner in the other (got it for $29 after rebate :) There are 3.5" units, but most don't come with a fan and I definitely wanted one. I google'd for the enclosures and ended up buying at http://acortech.com/ (I have no affiliation with them). They shipped a couple days ago and should be here today or tomorrow. I've heard others say they bought theirs from Newegg.com for US$19, but I haven't seen great prices there since I've been looking (maybe 2 weeks or so). -- Frank J.
