Komplett HD enclosures - anyone have these?

Hi, I'm thinking about getting one of these or one of these USB enclosures. Is a fan really necessary for cooling (prob 7,200rpm)? or would I be better off with a quieter enclosure? Does anyone have either of these? Thanks.

I have the Zynet Polar HD Enclosure 3.5" IDE ,aluminium, USB 2.0 €45 one. I find it grand but wouldn't leave it on over 24 hours as they can get hot. Mine has no fan but the aluminium disperses the heat ok. They also need an external power supply.
