I haven't bought one in a while, so I can't vouch for anything
specifically. I was looking at what Meritline had a little while ago,
and they've got a few that looked interesting.

This one's $18; it's pretty basic (and plastic), but a hell of a price:

For something sturdier with a fan, this one's $33:

They had several others, but those two looked like a good deal. You
might also explore supermediastore.com to see what they have to offer
at the moment. (Just be sure it's one that can take an optical drive
-- some are meant to be sealed up, and are just for hard drives. The
specs will tell you.)

Good luck.
