I bought an ADS Pyro case from OWC and that was really easy to put 
together. Just 3 screws (2 to hold the drive in and one to close the 
case). It was also only about $40.
I bought an IBM/Hitachi 120GB drive from Fry's that was only $90. IBM 
used to have a really good reputation for reliability, but I think it's 
pretty much the same as all the others now that drives are at commodity 
prices.
