[X-HW] recommendations for firewire enclosures

[Don Montalvo]

CompUSA here in NYC offers an Oxford 911 enclosure (with fan and 
internal power supply) for $60. I've got clients set up with this 
enclosure and Western Digital 80/100/120G drives. I know, choice of 
HD brands is personal...but they're fine for my clients' use(s). Fast 
and quiet.

PS, I would never purchase an external Firewire enclosure that 
doesn't include an internal fan...they burn up pretty fast.
