Are there commercial (ready-made) external hard disk cases for USB?

Are there commercial (ready-made) external hard disk cases for USB? I have unused IDE hard drives that I don't use anymore and I thought I could use as transfer media.

"Yes, they are commonly called hard drive enclosures. Here's some at Newegg:

"Yes, you can use an external drive enclosure to connect an IDE or SATA drive to a USB port.

NewEgg does not deliver to Romania, so here's a few alternatives to get you started:

Alibaba
Computer Center
eBay
Computer Sales
