Used.  During the mining craze a lot of people bought external enclosures just to get the card inside, things were that overpriced.  As a result there are (or were) a lot of empty external enclosures rattling around.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Or , you could make an external enclosure yourself. though it will look a bit shabby(if you will not make a proper casing) but it will be cheaper. you could make one for as low as $100.

depends on their ability to make things and the tools they have on hand but you can make diy enclosures look better then any store bought item.

 

with a 3d printer, its even easier!
