Get one from the bay. Got mine from china as it had the extra holes to make it more secure. A damn site cheaper than the official one from MCE.

Don't get the enclosure for free to turn the superdrive into an external drive though do you if you get it from china?

ok awesome, did you have any issues with it at all? as I've seen some as cheap as £10 odd on ebay so very tempted....lol

Oh OK thanks will look into it then...

The one I got was around £20. You don't get the enclosure for your supredrive. I bought an external DVD writer and it still totalled up to nearly half of what the Optibay from MCE would cost.
