Question External HD Enclosure Recommendation

I'm looking for an enclosure that supports the following....

- 1.5TB Seagate 7200.11

- eSATA

- Will look good in an entertainment center, as I plan to use it as additional storage for my DirecTV HD DVR.

Thanks.

I bought the mx-1. Guess this thread wasn't necessary.

It looks like I may have been ripped off. For me, this would be the first time I've had serious problems buying something on the internet. DO NOT use smartsubs dot com to purchase anything. On the 19th of June, I purchased the Antec MX -1 from this e-tailer, because their price was about 12$ cheaper than the bigger e-tailers (like newegg) and they offered free shipping. Yesterday, I finally received an order confirmation stating that the order was delayed. After doing some research on the business, I found that they've had several complaints from other customers, and they often attach software subscriptions to their transactions. They did this to me, too (a real networks related subscription), and I'm having problems canceling the subscription as well, although my debit card hasn't been charged for the subscription yet.

Anyway, just a heads up on this business. Don't use them. My fault for not researching first. I'm gonna go ahead and get this from buy.com. Hopefully I can get my money back from smartsubs, but I don't expect to.
