IDE -> usb adaptor wtb

I'm looking to buy an ide to usb adaptor with a 12v power adaptor much like this one: http://www.qvs.com/usb/usbide.asp

basically im looking for someway to use my modded (windowed) hard drive and i am out of ide cables inside. if you have a 3.5" external enclosure that might work too, but then i will need to mod that to see the modded hard drive.

looks mean nothing, price is everything... i need cheap

why not pick up a IDE controller card somewhere? you can find used ones fairly cheap on ebay($9 shipped) or someone here may have one laying around.
