How to choose HDD external case?

[Vay]

So my WD digital desktop Elements external hard drive is broken. I don't know if it is the hard drive or the USB/power interface. I am now trying to buy another external casing to put the HDD inside my WD external HDD. I don't know if any external case will fit.

Here is my external casing exactly as is:

I will buy from neweggs or amazon.

I have an alternate suggestion fot your consideration. This enclosure: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817173042

It has USB 2.0 as well as eSATA, and a built-in cooling fan for the HDD that does get hot inside any enclosure. I have three of these working flawlessly for over a year!

I am looking for an external HDD that will fit the 3.5" HDD from the WD elements external casing that I linked in my original post. I didn't mean it as me choosing to buy what I linked because I already own it. I am taking the HDD out and getting a new external casing.
