i like the Vantec Nexstar3 - 2.5" enclosure.

it's usb powered, and looks slick. this is what i have for my 7,200rpm 80GB 2.5" laptop drive
 
Need your laptop model# to know for sure but unless its fairly new 2.5 IDE should be right. Some newer models use SATA though.
 
this is it

Thats a IDE drive. I recently bought a enclosure off newegg for $.01+shipping. Any 2.5 in IDE enclosure will work.

not bad for the price right? or should i wait a month?[/QUOTE]
I can't load that Best Buy Link, but what is the budget? chances are best buy is charging too much...just from my experience.
 
Wait a month. And in that time span, learn how to build your own computer. I just built my first computer two months using guides I found on various forums as well as gathering info on parts from fellow cags. For reviews for parts from Pro's, I reccomend TomsHardware.com

I've been a really happy with what I built, only spent around 600 bux, and it blows away that best buy computer.

here's the thread:

The link doesn't work, but I wouldn't recommend buying anything from a BM store. The machines you buy from big retail chains are low quality and built with shody parts. Replacement parts can easily cost more than a new system just so that you'll buy a new system.
