    Hi Guys,

    I recently picked up a seagate internal SATA II drive, and I was hoping to get some recommendations for an external enclosure. Please note that it is a 3.5" drive. Here are the following guidelines/requirements:

    Aluminum Chassis or something equivalent for good cooling and durability
    Looks (I really like the Macpower Plaedes enclosure...but its too expensive)
    SATA II support
    Price (<30 USD and rebates dont matter)
    eSATA output
    On/Off switch if possible


    I would also prefer a portable design if at all possible. I would appreciate any recommendations on this regard.

    BTW, this will be used on an m1330 system with a Rosewill Expresscard for eSATA.
