I recently purchased an internal EIDE 180mb Western Digital Hard Drive to store some digital video. I want to be able to use this drive with my PowerBook G4. I am looking for deals on 3.5" firewire enclosures. Coolmax has a Firewire/USB 2.0 enclosure for $61 but according to this review it only supports Maxtor drives that are greater than 137mb.

There's the IceCube enclosure by Cool Drives that supports drives greater than 137mb but it costs $100. (The same price I paid for the HD itself.) I'm leaning towards the IceCube but only as a last resort. Is there a cheaper solution out there for a firewire enclosure that's fanless, contains the oxford 911 chipset, supports drives greater than 137mb and fairly decent looking? Or am I asking for too much?

Slick shoes?!! Are you crazy?!!
