I have an Icy Dock that I'm quite pleased with.  It has a little sled  
that you attach the drive to and then slide into the enclosure.  They  
sell extra sleds if you want to use multiple drives with only one  
enclosure.

I'm not sure about their local availability.  I also can't find the  
model I have on newegg's site anymore.

Good luck,
Joe
