Ok, I'm looking for an external housing for a new 3.5" Maxtor SATA2 HDD I just ordered. I finally found one I really liked, but found out the output is SATA to eSATA. I need the output to the USB 2.0 since I want to use the external HDD with my laptop.

So what I'm basically looking for:

- Output to USB 2.0 (Be able to hook it up to my laptop)
- be able to house a 3.5" SATA2 HDD.
- Something that looks fairly unique/nice.
- Something under $50 would be realistic.


Any recommendations???

Thanks! :)
 
Any help? I've seriously looked alot and can't find what I'm looking for.

Actually the more I'm reading, is there even such a thing as what I'm looking for?
 
iConnect makes the 'Metal gear' Series, i think lotsa ppl have them but i think they look really cool.
 
I am not sure if a SATA to USB enclosure exists, since eSATA may be the next big thing.
