Were can I find cheep firewire enclosers and whitch ones are the best, I have seen some over at OWC but they are 89 are there any cheaper?
And also how about Cd rom drives I have seen 56x drives (IDE) for 18 dollars is this also worth the money?

OWC's $89 case is the cheapest I've seen for a 5.25" case (even more so since it has a 911 bridge)

I am also looking for a firewire case. What's the "Oxford 911" which features is important on a firewire case? I need some advise on this. I have 40GB 7200rpm maxtor drive 3.5" to put on. Thank you.

The Oxford 911 bridge is the hardware in the case that converts the IDE chanel into firewire, they are known as the fastest and the most reliable.

the oxford 911 refers to the bridge between the firewire and the ATA/IDE interface that your hd will connect to inside the enclosure (Firewire drives actually have ATA/IDE drives inside, but you connect to them via firewire - the bridge can be thought of as an adapter between the two allowing you to do this). The 911 is a new technology which overcomes many of the performance bottlenecks that first generation firewire drives suffered from. Since you have a 7200 RPM drive, I would definitely get an enclosure with the 911 chip. Good luck!
