Enclosures are pretty generic and I have no recommendations on any
specific one.
Here is what I have been using. It sure beats opening up an
enclosure and slapping a new drive in it everytime you need to get
data off of some stray drive.

Open your quick silver and unplug and replug all of the data and
power cables. Remove and reseat the ram chips. Remove and reseat the
processor.
Remove all of your pci cards (except video). Run a test to see if it
fails again. Add back any pci cards one by one.

Hey folks,
It seems that my beloved 6 1/2 year-old dual-processor 800MHz
quicksilver has bitten the dust. The symptoms are:
. When attempting to turn it on, the light on the power switch turns
on, then off, immediately.
. When two lucky boot attempts worked, the machine would run for
about 5 minutes and then lock up hard.
I replaced the motherboard battery, did all the PMU stuff, then did
the PRAM stuff during a lucky reboot, all to no avail.
In any case, the machine has been replaced by a nice little mini.
Question for the group:
Does anyone have a recommended hard-drive enclosure for plain old IDE
disks? The quicksilver has once-magnificent 80GB, 160GB, and ??GB
(120, maybe?) IDE drives in it, and I'd like to get the data off the
drives and turn at least one of the drives into a portable external
drive. Perhaps this last idea is dumb, as cheap as drives are now,
but it wouldn't be bad to have something with twice the capacity of
an iPod, which is well over twice as big with 0.01% of the
functionality.
Tips?
