    On a separate note I did this (well my wife did) to my external hard drive and I returned it to Western Digital and they replaced it for me foc (except for shipping back the old device).

    I dont think another housing will make your existing hard drive work. I would have thought that everything was connected to the one drive so when you blew it you blew the drive board no?

    just get a sata caddy,try and get a plastic one,maplins 15 euro,
    see here,http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/sata2.jpg ,metal cases can short out the drive if they touch the pcb underneath.
    see http://www.hothardware.com/articleimages/Item1019/wdfMobile_SATA_BEVSd.jpg
    is your drive like this picture.above,
    chances are your drive is ok.
