I bought the PPA-USA Silver 5.25" Aluminum USB 2.0/Firewire External Case With Light Bar, Model 2230 "ME-380U2FL-X" -RETAIL from Newegg.com.
Note that the holes drilled for 3.5" drives don't actually match up, so although not useless, it requires a) leaving one side's set of holes unscrewed, b) mechanical tweaking. I also noticed that the bottom holes on 3.5" to 5.25" rails aren't at the same width as the holes on the bottom of a CDROM Drive. For what it's worth, the chipsets internally to these enclosures are pretty much all the same, but motherboard USB driver support varies widely.
