Now there is no brand name that I can search on this page (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/hard-drive/hdd-usb-dock-plugs-bare-sata-drives-like-nes-cartridges-312747.php)
but there is a link to another option that I may go with instead...

I like that this one is more compact but I like the cool look of the dock also. I swear I saw the first one on Newegg or tiger but I cant find it on either now. If anyone has seen it somewhere for sale please let me know I think this could be really handy for me. Thanks guys
EDIT: OK I found the Cable for $18 not bad IMO

EDIT #2: OK so I found the dock here (http://www.geekstuff4u.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=650) but its $50 damnit and it's only SATA the cable is both and WAYYY cheaper, me thinks me's goin with the cable.

Thermaltake (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153066) makes one but it's not eSATA, unfortunately.

Yeah I went with the cable cheaper and it works with both SATA and IDE

The docking station has to be Sata only because of the positions of the data and power connectord. There is no standard position for the data and power connectors on IDE drives and consequently no guarantee that an IDE drive will fit the docking station.
