Default Hard drive enclosure recommendations

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a HD enclosure but I'm looking for one with active cooling (fan).

I wanted to get a Venus DS series, but they cost an arm and a leg since they are unavailable in Canada.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Same here. It has a large heatsink for the hard drive, a variable speed fan cool it (manual control, or temperature-controlled fan speed), and also works as a USB2 hub.

It's a looker too.
