    Smile Cheap IEEE1394 external enclosure?

    I'm going to whack a 200GB hard disk in a firewire enclosure. Where are the cheapest (but not the flimsiest) enlosures? I aren't bothered about all this one-touch backup crap. I want:

    Reasonably small - only needs to support a 3.5" device.
    Firewire connection - USB2.0 will be considered a bonus.
    Power - Internal or external transformer.
    Cooling - It would be preferable if it had a small fan or vent.

    As always, thanks for the help guys!

    Incidentally, I'll be checking the sites you link to, seeing what 200GB drives they have - I'm trying to get the lot for ~£100.

    Kez.
