External enclosures

[lcseds]

I wanted to take the 80gb out of my new Macbook and install a 160gb. I can't find any external enclosure that has both SATA connecton on the inside (I need this right? Not a standard IDE pinout?), and firewire. Only thing I can find is USB 2 which would likely need a power supply be carried around also.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Correct, you'll need a SATA drive enclosure, Here's 2 I was looking at:

Because they are so expensive, I ended up buying a 100GB External Western Digital Passport - it cost me less thanthe case alone (although its USB 2.0, not firewire) - but it runs off of the USB, not a power adapter.
