If you're just using the external case for backup, and its usually turned off, I'd say a cheap case with no fan, $20-$25 would be perfect. but Id you're going to leave it on all the the time, or a good amount of the time, I'd say spend a little more to get a decent aluminum case (plastic conducts heat like crap) that has an internal fan to help cool it. Otherwise, your HD will die quickly from being too hot.
