Alternatively, an IDE/SATA to USB adapter. This one came up first when I 
searched amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-CB-ISATAU2-Supports-2-5-Inch-5-25-Inch/dp/B000J01I1G/

The advantage is that the disk doesn't have to fit in the enclosure. 
Will handle disks from laptops and desktops, old (IDE) and new (SATA).

I use one of those whenever I move from one computer into a new one.
