Enclosure to build external hard drive

I would like to build my own external hard drive. Can anyone recommend some good enclosures? Doesn't have to have firewire support, but would be nice.
Seagate just upped their warranties for five years, so I figure I can build an external much cheaper than I can buy it built.
I would like for the case to have an external power supply instead of draining the computer.
Would appreciate the help,
Candy

VANTEC, BYTECC, Macally, and ENERMAX are OK brands.

Try here:

Stay away from the CompUSA branded enclosures. Some are OK, but some are death traps for hard drives.

Wow, Newegg has redesigned the site since I looked at them last. I like the little eggs for product reviews!
I was looking at some enclosures at CompUsa, but didn't really like their brand. Somewhere I saw a case that actually had shock absorbers in it, but now I can't remember where.
Senility creeps in again.
Thanks for the help,
Candy
