Is there a 3.5" case with FW800 that also supports eSATA at 3Gbps?
My current case supports 3Gbps internally, but not externally.
Thanks

Well, there are 14 choices that have FW800 and eSATA at OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity|1&Ne=5000&N=6778&Ntt=3.5++SATA+Enclosure) and a couple more (mixed in with the eSATA+FireWire 400 ones) at newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000092%201053807123%201054107131%201054207138&Description=hard%20drive%20enclosures&name=USB%20%26%201394%20%26%20eSATA) to get you started.
EDIT: I just reread your post and wanted to add that I checked a couple of them at OWC and both of the ones I looked at support the 3Gbits/sec throughout- but did not look at the specs on each so not all may.

I don't trust the cases at newegg, given their reviews, so I won't bother to check for this.
OWC has the Macally G-S350SUAB, which is Hi-Speed. I will see if I can find it here.
Thanks

No luck with that. I don't want to pay international courier.

Yes they have that- and a couple of the Mercury Elites are 300 all the way too-- but since you don't show a location, I didn't realize we were dealing with an international commerce situation. Sorry.
