what to do with replaced HD????

Now that I'm on my 2nd internal 2.5" HD upgrade I'd eally like to be able to use my 2 old drives somehow (80G & 100G)
They are, obviously, 2.5" SATA drives. Does anyone know where I can find an enclosure to house even one of them (2.5" remember)? I'd like to access them by FW or at least USB2 but I'd also consider buying a SATA express34 card to access them.

Where can I find an enclosure, for less that $150, that could house them and maybe even provide FW/USB interafces?
So far the only one I've seen is $229, a little outo of my range since I could buy a new drive for that much.

Any URL's would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Peter

Peter, et al,
Thanks for the reply BUT the drive enclosre you're referencing is for ATA-100 and regular ATA drives, thats why you were able to take it out of your old powerbook.
Unfortuntaley the MBP interface is SATA, big difference and so hence the problem I'm having finding a drive enclosure

So I'll ask you guys out there, does anyone know of a SATA compatible 2.5" drive enclosure that produces a FW/USB interface ?

TIA,
Peter
