what is the proper external enclosure to buy for a 160GB internal seagate drive?
i have an Internal 160GB Seagate drive.
model# st3160023A
and i am trying to find the proper external drive enclosure.
what interface and specific model should i buy?
You need a 3.5" enclosure (2.5" are for laptop drives).
It should be USB 2.0 Get one with a cooling fan if you plan on heavy usage, without if it's just for occasional use/backup.
Here's a place to look as some:

Don't spend too much on an enclosure, considering you can get a new USB 2.0 external 500GB drive for about $100 these days.
there are too many different external enclosures to choose from to give you a recommendation.
Your enclosure first has to be able to accept the drive(PATA or SATA connection) and then the enclosure needs to connect to the computer(USB, eSATA, firewire, etc.), so you need to also take that into account.
Most computers have USB inputs nowadays, and I assume your drive is PATA because its only 160 GB. Buy an enclosure that is PATA/USB. Go to Fry's, Circuit City, Newegg.com, etc... If you still don't know what to buy, take the drive to a brick and mortar store and hope that the sales guys there know what they're doing.
You just need an enclosure that supports a standard IDE interface like the one at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...
You can buy enclosures that only support drives to 160GB for pretty cheap but you will not be able to use it later on for a larger drive. I use this enclosure for a 200GB and it works pretty good, I hope that worked!
