I found this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148115
What do you guys think of it.

go for it, seagate is good quality.

I would not recommend it.
1.Enclosure is made of plastic.
2.No fan

This is not good for heat dissipation.

For the best setup, buy an apricorn enclosure. Its made of aluminium and has a giant 80mm fan. Plug in a seagate internal HDD (very easy to do), format the HDD and you're good go.
Total cost: Enclosure ~$50, HDD ~$130 for 400GB.

Echo Weretheborg. Get a good external case, aluminum, w/fan, A?C power, etc., and put in the drive of your choice.
