I want to be able to take my internal 3.5" IDE hard drives, QUICKLY put them
into an external case, and access the drive via USB 2.0. I want to be able
to take one drive out, put another one in, very quickly.

The problem with some of the enclosure that I've seen is that it's too much
work to take one drive out of the case and put another one in. Too many
screws. You often have screws for opening / closing the case itself, and
then you have more screws to secure the drive inside the case.

What I am looking for is an enclosure that requires NO SCREWS, either to
open or close the enclosure, or to secure the 3.5" drive inside the case.

The means of opening/closing the case, and securing the drive inside, must
be something else - push button, flip-top lid, clamps, thumbscrews - just so
that I don't have to use a screwdriver.

Seen anything like this?

There's quite a few examples of no case at all, just the electronics.

Grief - that thing in the UK costs about £30 - or $50 plus.

Yeah, unfortunately they wont ship internationally,
like a lot of the cheaper US operations.
