So something like this would allow me to clone directly onto my new drive?
Sabrent 2.5" USB 2.0 to IDE/PATA Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1086960&CatId=2781)

Clonezilla is what I used for almost the same scenario. Except that I went to microcenter and picked up an esata/usb enclosure for like $6.99, put the new drive in it, connected to laptop, and used Clonezilla live to copy.

Then I used gparted live to have the partition take up the whole drive, swapped the drives and rebooted from the new hard drive.
