SATA - USB Hard Drive Enclosures?

[XCoalMiner]

Does anyone have a good sourece for 3.5" USB hard drive enclosures with a SATA interface to the drive? To be exact here, inside the enclosure the drive interface is SATA, and outside is a USB 2.0 interface (not to be confused with some new enclosures that come with both USB and "eSATA" as the external interfaces, see here, scroll down).

I've looked at the usual sources (NewEgg, ZipZoomFly and TigerDirect), and have found maybe two or three of them. All high priced, am looking for other sources.

I already use the USB 2.0 > IDE (without the case).

However, external SATA (eSATA) is a worthy alternative. ... "
