External cases for internal IDE drives; LiveCDs

[Brandon Sandrowicz]

I think he means www.factorydirect.ca.

On the topic of external enclosures, anyone know of an enclosure that  
supports SATA drives and does Firewire.  The only one I've found is  
on TigerDirect.ca, but is rather expensive due to support for  
everything (it supports IDE and SATA drives, and allows eSATA,  
FireWire and USB2.0 connections).
