Converting an IDE external enclosure to SATA?

[Toby]

Is it possible for me to use an IDE external enclosure with a SATA hard drive? Is there some sort of converter I could put inside the enclosure?

Or... should I just buy a new enclosure? ;\

Thanks!

Do you really need the FireWire with that one? I've been pointing everyone to the Antec MX-1. Getting great reviews and has an eSATA port. Froogle for a better price.
