Looking for the cheapest way to make a 3.5" HDD enclosure or dock

[austinsherman]

I have a 3.5" HDD and I want to be able to use it as an external hard drive. I am leaving town tomorrow so I need a sort of quick fix that I can use. It can be as simple as a couple cables. Since I'm leaving tomorrow I need to be able to pick up the parts in store. I would appreciate links so parts.

go to staples, bestbuy, officemax... and buy an hdd enclosure. Let the salesman know which size drive you have if they dont have a universal enclosure.

design one in solidworks or search google for a 3d model and have it 3D printed.

You don't even need an enclosure, just a SATA to USB adapter.
