I like my Vantec Nexstar 3 enclosure. Try for one of them, they are cheap, flexible in capacity and nice to look at.

Then I realized that the proprietary ATi drivers dont give this card 3d acceleration, which it is totally capable of. Anyway, I tried the wiki instructions on getting this card to work but they are quite cr
