    Firstly, where are you based (Which country)? I would get the part of the internet, I trust we are talking about a 3.5" drive? Do you have an esata port on your pc? I would get something similar to this, I think: Play.com - Buy CiT 35M17SEF 3.5 inch SATA / USB / Firewire / eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure online at Play.com and read reviews.

    An enclosure would be the way to go, as it will protect the drive itself plus you will get a PSU to power it. Just make sure that you get one with the correct interfaces, i.e. SATA/PATA and USB/eSATA/Firewire as appropriate.

    I would take a look at Amazon to see what they've got. They do ship to Algeria, but it can take up to a month.
