Here's something I got off one of the Mac newsgroups:

I've seen a lot of postings from people looking for good external hard drive
  cases.  The company I've been dealing with is Saturae Corporation located
  in Cambridge, MA.  They offer three cases: a metal zero-footprint case,
  a plastic portable case, and a metal "micro" case for low-profile drives.
  All cases have power supplies installed and include power and DB25 to
  CN50 cables.  $95 each.              

Their number is 1-800-373-3063  Ask for Po, CS, or Jason.

As always, I have no connection with this company.  I've just received excellent
  service from the above people.
