What external hard drive case enclosure would I need for this Internal Hard Drive?

I took it out of my mac because the screen shattered, but the hard drive is working fine. Now i'd like to use it as an external hard drive but don't know what case closure it would fit in. I want it to be USB powered, not AC if thats possible.
It looks like a standard 2.5" ATA/IDE drive so any enclosure fitting that spec should work fine. Most 2.5" drives work fine from USB power alone, depends on the port though... some don't give out enough power... in which case you'd need a Y cable so you could get power from 2 USB ports at the same time.
I like drives from Vantec... here's an option that'd work:
