BUSlink makes a good external HDD enclosure at a low price. the one I use is a little older (USB 1.0), but I've seen USB 2.0 enclosures at CompUSA.

Hi I got a number of external enclosures for both 2.5" (laptop) and 3.5" drives from Fry's Electronics. Various; some USB and some Firewire; some both. I've had good results with all of them and tend now to select the ones with the prettiest LEDs. Got to go now, the men are here with that loooong-sleeved jacket again. Pretty, pretty lights!

They definitely make them and someone recently (can't recall where) was busy making one work for their project. Back in the day, external HDD enclosures were a power supply, a cabinet, and perhaps a fan (this was before USB came along). The one I saw (and only one!) was designed to hold a quite large (thick) Micropolis drive. At the time (1989) it was a 100 meg drive. It was fed over (I think) an IDE bus ribbon cable, or perhaps a pair of MFM cables, out the back, direct to the controller board inside the CPU cabinet.

Hey folks, I posted this over in the Computer Hardware tribe and thought I'd post here too and see if I got any responses. I'm looking for recommedations for external hdd enclosures. They are kind of like kits that are applied to regular internal hdd's and convert them to external hdd's. The type of enclosure I'm looking for is preferably USB compatible, though a USB/Firewire combo would be ideal.
