 From my looking around over the last year or two, it seems like $90-100 
is typical for an enclosure with a power supply, $40-60 for "portable" 
enclosures without a power supply.

I've seen the dual-drive model with power supply for <$50 mentioned now 
and then, but I'm always hesitant to buy something that's half the 
price of the competitors. Is there anyone who's had one of these for a 
while who would recommend it? How's the noise level? I've got a couple 
smaller drives I wouldn't mind putting in one of these. I can't justify 
buying two "normal" enclosures for $100 each for these drives, but $50 
for both is reasonable.
