Anyone know where to find an external enclosure for a slimline burner? Preferably USB powered. Thanks.

Convert any Slim Optical Drive: DVD/CD-ROM; CD/DVD-R/-RW CD/DVD+R+RW
into a portable USB2.0 drive:

I've not bought one yet as I'm in the UK but hope to.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting a LiteOn SDW-200X on ebay cause it was so cheap. It works good, but needs to be plugged into the wall. I tried to get a USB power cable to see if I could power it that way. The voltage was the same, but the plug was the wrong size.
