Oh, I wasn't supposed to bang it that hard?

An internal serial ATA (SATA) 3.5" hard drive pulled from an iMac G5 (the iMac is not accessible). A FireWire IDE enclosure. I live in Brooklyn and want some place open tonight (magically) or early tomorrow to find either a USB2 adapter for the SATA drive, a cheap USB2/FireWire enclosure, or an SATA>IDE adapter so I can use my current enclosure. (Give me any ideas that don't involve J&R.) Bonus points for Brooklyn - other boroughs are cool too, or any of these devices on loan from someone extremely generous would also be awesome!

If you can get to Manhattan, their Apple Store is open 24/7.

I have a feeling the Apple Store won't have this specific item. CompUSA and BestBuy, quite possibly. I'm more looking for the dirty, creepy shady computer store that I've never heard of and that has odd items like this.
