can someone please recommend a reasonably priced enclosure for this 5.25" drive sat doing nothing at work, had a google around for 'enclosures' or 'external caddies' but the mainstream size seems to be for laptop 2.5" drives... Will everything be included in the box or will I need to purchase anything else?

actually just realised mine is a 3.5" as the size doesn't refer to the physical dimensions of the hdd housing, it's the actual optical disc inside = i am not as much a geek as I thought i was...
will have another google

Most of the guys here use akasa caddies, or if it doesn't need to be inside a box then a USB-SATA cable (with or without docking station slot in thingy)
