I'm going to upgrade my TiBook hard drive and kick the current one into an external enclosure. Anyone have any favorites?

It looks like they're mostly all pretty much the same except for the Cutie from FWDepot, which is fantastically small but a bit expensive. Are there any other super-thin enclosures?

I also need to figure out if I want a USB interface as well, but that's probably going to be a coin flip...

I have two momobays!! one that uses Firewire and USB 1 & one that uses Firewire and USB 2.. they're really nice, because you can also plug the disk into an unpowered Firewire bus, and than use the USB port for the power!!

look at the CX1 & CX2!!

Those momobays look very nice, but not readily available in the US. At least I didn't have much luck tracking them down. Also they don't have the Oxford 911, which may or may not be a problem with a relatively slow drive like the one I'd be putting in, but I still would feel better with teh 911.

But boy, that is a nice-looking case. Tiny!
