FatWallet.com has a big thread about them, entitled "The official external ENCLOSURE thread": http://www.fatwallet.com/t/28/496281/ I don't think any enclosures have shock mounts, but a lot of them have poor ventilation (you may want to mount the drive 1/8" above the bottom with plastic washers or spacers to fix that), and some have internal power supplies that aren't UL listed and could be kind of dangerous.

And when you (accidentally) throw them - no (reasonable) amount of shock mount can save them. > but a lot of them have poor ventilation > (you may want to mount the drive 1/8" above the > bottom with plastic washers or spacers to fix that), Won't help if no ventilation is available. May even worsen the situation since you're adding more insulation. > and some have internal power supplies that aren't UL listed > and could be kind of dangerous.

I am considering Sorbothane rubber washers or using Sorothane sheeting on the outside as well. The question is if there will be enough clearance for the washers.
