As Michael points out, Rosewill has been selling the 100% same enclosure for a good long time. I have two of these cases on my desk right now (The USB2 and FW 400) models. Bought them both from NewEgg as well at the cost of $49 per case. The three models Roswill sells are as follows. RX30-U2: USB 2.0/1.1 http://www.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=79 RX30-U2FA: USB 2.0/1.1 & Fireware 1394a http://www.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=80 RX30-U2FAB: USB 2.0/1.1 & Fireware 1394b & Fireware 1394a http://www.rosewill.com/product/product.aspx?productId=81 Models that have FireWire 400 & 800 clearly exist. I would recommend looking at places like NewEgg and such that carry off-brand cases and snatch these things up. They are really neat; but USB 2.0 only is a weak choice at best for this case.

This looks useless, as it does not have FW800 or even FW400 on board. Function is just as important as form!
