Help finding an external HD enclosure (sata to firewire/usb)

[BEASTMAN]

I am looking for an external enclosure that uses 2.5" SATA HD and has firewire and usb, I cant find a cheap one to save my life, I have seen sata to usb and esata for as cheap as like $15 but these are way too expensive for just an enclosure

These are the ones I have found so far

I would prefer one like the second but doesnt matter too much

Anyone have any ideas where I can find a cheap one?

Vantec makes really good enclosures. The Nexstar series is particularly good. Great build quality, performs as advertised and great connectivity options (USB 2.0 and eSATA) all in a nice-looking aluminum enclosure.
You have to use a SATA drive, which is becoming less and less of a problem, given the predominance of SATA drives at retailers.

CompUSA still has a variety of choices starting at $25 - $35 for a case with FW and USB.

I didn't have an 2.5" SATA so I slapped my older PM drive in one of their cheap FW cases. Of course they are still local here, so that instant gratification helps.

Sort of odd that they carry more FW on cases and optical drives than they do here on their complete external HDs (like vary between zero and 1 model depending on stock.)
