I bought the same mechanism from AnDATAco in San Diego.  They have great  
service.  Talk to Tim Norian, 714/833-9191.  I've got an external maxtor  
660 on my NeXT and an external maxtor 535 on my Mac.  They both work great  
and were simple to install.  AnDATAco includes the cable and terminator  
and a nice warranty.  Sorry, gray case only.  

If you want the parts to make a hard disk mechanism into a full-fledged  
external drive (black anodized metal box, power supply, case, SCSI ports,  
etc.), call Tecor.  They've got what you need for about $195. Talk to  
Larry  at 408/458-3197.

I should mention that I got a university discount so I can't quote you my  
price here but I don't get any kickback or any freebies from these folks.   
I mention them because I wouldn't want anyone to have to go the same  
frustations trying to find a reasonable drive at a decent price.
