Seen them over at Tiger Direct.. Good for a older drive to move files back and forth. But, I think I prefer a CD-burner for this purpose, or a thumbdrive.

The USB 2.0 IDE cases are readily available, they start at about $45 on Pricewatch. I've been using them for several years, they're the Cat's Meow for backups and data transport. I have a pair of 120gig drives in USB 2.0 cabinets, and I take them on the road regularly.
