I recently purchased a Vantec Nexstar 2.5" model from Filtech for 
$19.99. I've got a 40gig drive in it that runs off my Asus laptop very 
well without any power adapter or doubled up cable (it does come with 
the 2 port cable however). Simple and cheap, I highly recommend it. 
Nothing fancy but it works.

Checking the filtech site now, they don't seem to have the model I 
purchased anymore (NST-250U2) -- only the newer ones (NST-26U2) seen on 
the Vantec site here: http://www.vantecusa.com/product-storage.html#
