Try Ebay or google to get it a better price (I got mine for U$ 29).

Good Luck.

The AMS Venus is a great enclosure and I use one myself. I'd recommend that you save a few bucks and get the
non-firewire version. I find the USB connection to be fast enough.

You can add Macally and MaPower to that list...personally I prefer 1394b/Firewire800 for speed ...The primo of the group is LIAN-LI

2 schools of thought 3 1/2 inch Cases are portable but you carry and adapter with you while many 5 1/4 inchers are big and bulky but have the power built in and many have the capability to swap out an Optical Drive if desired
