Just don't get a cheap one, even if it looks good in the photos. It'll look cheap, shit and flimsy when you get it.

I'm they do that one in PC World, could always take a butchers.

PATA or SATA?

PATA's are dirt cheap to buy the caddys. less than £15 but slower performance, SATAS are more pricey but better performance.
