SATA on the inside, eSATA & USB on the outside, cooling fan, good looking and a quality brand.
Nice choice!

You want eSATA (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/18m-AKASA-e-SATA-to-e-SATA-Black-Data-Cable) to eSATA (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/1M-e-SATA-to-e-SATA-Shielded-Cable-(7pin-Male-to-7pin-Male)).
Those linked are just 2 different lengths.

Looks like a nice enclosure to me, I like the usb option, and its fan cooled. Have fun :p
