HDD Rack for 5GB Maxtor

My dad wants a HDD Rack for a single drive that can fit in the front of our server on which he can transport files front one computer to another a little more efficiently.

At newegg.com, I searched for "HDD rack" without the "" 's and got some results. I'm looking for a desktop IDE drive one and not one that accepts mobile IDE drives. There is one further down at exactly $20 and $5 more shipping. Is this the cheapest that will get the job done? Also, any other reccomendations would be appreciated.

If you do reccomend something, it has to be available at newegg.com, emicrox.com (local), or a place that accepts American Express.
 
Mwave.com accepts Amex and has a rack for $15 that will work fine.

You can also find cheap ones at computer swap meets. CompUSA aslo sells them.



Edit: Compgeeks also takes Amex and they have one for $6.90.

I have four of those ones. I haven't had any problems with any of them and two of them have been running 20+ hours a day for a couple of years.

buy a hdd enclosure instead, and then a usb2 front panel thing

I was looking at those but price is higher and I'd rather not have hard drives co ming out of USB 1.1 ports of a server.
