Preferably a 5.25 but a 3.5 is fine too.
Need to make a harddrive into a usb external for easy transfering of data

Make sure you get usb2.0 not usb1.1 or you'll be hating it. At usb 1.1 speeds it takes at least 20mins to move 1 gig of data. Why don't you just install a network instead?

You might want to consider peicing one together yourself. I made one and if you look around you can do it for about 1/3 of retail. I bought a usb 2.0 external enclosure for a 2.5" laptop harddrive for $38 canadian (new) and a 15gig laptop harddrive for $45 canadian (used). Made a very tiny, ultra portable device that's truely plug-n-play on new OS's...
edit: sorry, just realized you were only looking for the enclosure anyway. Unless you have a good, large drive already you still might want to consider the 2.5" route...
Here's the enclosure I got (md-201-u2)

except I got it from canada computers.

I don't have any, but
New Egg
does!
Hard Drive Enclosures
The first return is a 2.5" USB 2.0 for $29.00...
Or are you looking for something else? (Or is that more than you're looking to pay?)
