As the title says I am looking for a good Ultra ATA hard drive enclosure. It needs to have FW400, a power adapter, and preferably be aluminum. A fan would be nice, but isn't needed. Any suggestions?

I agree with the recommendations above, but wanted to add a link to newegg.com's selection- here are 41 external 3.5" enclosures that include FW 400 and use IDE drives (including those above):
