    Any external hard disk casing with a normal HD would get the job done.

    Casings are all generic no name stuff. eBay would have them cheap. As for hard disks, I always have had good experiences with Seagate. Make sure to get the 8Mb cache model.

    Does it need to be USB, I recently went for a 300GB NAS from Buffalo and am very impressed with it so far:

    No I have it plugged in to my network, you can get wireless ones though or you could use a cross over cable.
