Default Quick external/usb HDD question.....

Think it's about time I got a back up drive, to back up files. MP3's, pics etc from my household PC's, just in case a disk fails or OS corrupts, etc...

Mate of mine has a spare 60gb drive (normal 3.5" IDE internal drive) which he might let me have for £30....

Whats a good USB 2.0 enclosure to fit it into?

Do They need to be powered? (guessing they do)

Do they need to have a fan inside the case?

What sort of price should I be paying for an enclosure, with PSU, cable etc?

Can I buy one on ebay? Or is that a no no (cue Dan )
