I have noticed enclosures of pretty much any kind is relatively expensive. Thanks to the New World Order of economics you can buy 2.5 inch HD enclosures dirt cheap from China. Dealextreme has plenty of them for 5-6 dollars.
They're quite small but larger 3.5 inch ones are from 20 dollars and up.
Makes nice enclosures for DIY midi controllers as they already have USB ports and some comes with power supplies too.
