External Enclosure

Looking for an external enclosure for a 500GB Samsung Spinpoint, was wondering which ones are generally thought as best, is active cooling really needed for example or does it just cause more noise?

Thanks for those two, both look pretty good, do you know if there is any limit on thickness of drive that will fit in the enclosure, I have a fairly thick 500gb spinpoint.

I think unfortunately I am going to be stuck with usb as my macbook doesn't have esata.

indeed, already have a 500GB HDD that I want to use as an external for a laptop with only USB connectivity, a usb caddy is the most sensible option I think, just need to chose a suitable one that isn't too expensive.
