I'm looking for a firewire enclosure for a 3.5" hard drive and I was wondering if you guys knew anyplace to get a decent cheap one other than eBay. Thanks!
seemed cheap enough for me... and you can put TWO hard drives in there... was perfect for what i wanted... should be getting it in a few days... if you cant find it, let me know an i'll post a link... i'm too tired to do it right now...

By being powered directly from the USB port or the PS/2 port (for firewire or USB), this hard drive enclosure is truly portable!!!<hr></blockquote>
I'm not sure about inexpensive, but I am considering buying a WD special edition drive and putting that inside my new mac and then taking the stock 120GB drive and putting it in an external hard drive enclosure. I've been looking at cases all over for the past week, and this seems to be my favorite. The company also sells a faster unit that has Firewire AND USB2.0 built in (so you can use the same drive for PC and Mac) but the power supply is external and I figure I can use my Archos portable hard drive for any PC files I may need to transfer.

The direct link to the product is <a href="http://www.piranhatech.com/products/viewproduct.asp?catid=1047&subcatid=2132&manufactu rer=Firewire&productid=2686" target="_blank">here</a>
Whoa..they went up $10..it's now $65. Ground shipping is free. Image of it is here: <a href="http://www.piranhatech.com//images/products/Firewire_HD_big.jpg"; target="_blank">http://www.piranhatech.com//images/products/Firewire_HD_big.jpg</a>;
I have this case and it was fairly easy to assemble. Problem is no instructions so that was a pain if you didn't know how.
My next one will be <a href="http://store3.yimg.com/I/fire-wire-1394-ilink_1694_590754"; target="_blank">this one</a> for only $22 more! <a href="http://www.firewiremax.com/35ulclearfir.html"; target="_blank">http://www.firewiremax.com/35ulclearfir.html</a>;
