Looking for suggestions for a Hard Drive "case" or external connector.

  I have many HD's that I need to occasionally hook up to a working
system.  Some or 2.5 some 3.5, some IDE and some SATA.
It there a device that will allow me to hook these drives up
externally so I can change them out on the fly and while the system is
hot.  I can find some that will do 2.5 OR 3.5  and IDE OR SATA but not
all combos.  The case can be very minimal - hell, I'd be happy with
just wires.
Any suggestions?

Here's one though you'll need add an adapter for 2.5"
IDE/PATA:

I recently picked this up at newegg and it can connect IDE, SATA, lapttop
drives all to USB. The nice thing is that it actually works.
