Hard drive USB external Enclosure

I got a few external SATA harddrives hooked up via USB 2.0, but the cases are cheap, fan is noisy and rattles time to time. Any recommendations for a good HDD case? The one I had was a Ultra.

I always buy the vantec external enclosures. Yes, they cost a bit more, but they are worth it.

Edit: Oops, I meant AMS .. see below.

Any fan noise? or extra noise?

Sorry .. I rechecked .. the one's that I'm thinking of are made by AMS, not Vantec.
Yes, they are quiet and solid. I suppose if you want a silent one (other than the noise the drive makes), you can look for a quality all aluminum fanless enclosure.
