External HD casings

Anyone knows any SATA external Hd casings? I am having a gard time finding sata. I have found a few IDE at thermaltake's website.

What is the normal hd pc size? I am not sure which of the 3 should I get. I just need one IDE and 1 SATA, as I will swap 5hd's between them. Also, which is better, internal or external adapter? with/without fan? USB or firewire.
Thanks

NewEgg has cases for Sata.

Standard size hard drive is 3½.
The first one on your list is for notebook drives. (2½)
5½ can come in handy if you ever wanted to put a cd/dvd drive in one.
