Plain looking USB 2 drive enclosure for SATA?

[C(-)ris]

I've got a 500GB SATA drive that I want to put in an enclosure. USB2 only is fine, Firewire would be nice, but not neccessary. I've been looking around, and everything I have come across has ugly blue lights or other crap all over it. I just want something that is plain, one color, or aluminum and has a USB connection that doesn't cost $100. Under $30 probably would be good. Anyone seen one?

Computer Geeks has one that might be passable, priced at $22. You may want to e-mail/call them about the size of its drive support, since it isn't listed.

They have another $22 enclosure that has a better look to it, but it only supports drives up to 400 GB.

I have this one. Seems to work, pretty well put together, and looks nice. Also it is $20. Someone else here recommended it last month.

^^^ I just got that one as well, but haven't hooked it up yet. Seems decent enough for the bux, and fanless too. Just hope it doesn't melt whatever drive I put in it.
