Tryin' To Recover Files With A External Hard Drive Enclosure

i'm tryin' to recover files with a hard drive enclosure. i had to downgrade my pc and my sata 2 hard drive is unusable. i have a 500gb 300 mb/s sata 2 hard drive.

but i've read reviews that ppl were able to recover files off of old pc's/hard drives with some of these external enclosures. but i was thinkin' that any enclosure should work like that too.

basically, i need to get my anime and music off of my hard drive and onto dvd-r. but i know nothin' about brands for external hard drive enclosures. should i go with one of these or another brand?

an eagle and a kingwin helped two ppl recover their files, but i gave out links for a higher up model. i really don't care for the fan since i only want to burn my files to dvd-r and not use it all the time (the hard drive is goin' back inside my case once i upgrade my mb and processor).

my cpu's heatsink is a thermaltake, that's how it made the list, even tho' i don't want to spend $50 on a enclosure.
