Yes, but hardly anyone has them in stock anymore.  You used to be able to 
find one of these cases for as little as $45, but the best price that I 
know of right now is $130:

I wouldn't pay that price.  Instead I would go with two Argosy cases:

Argosy $38

And, by the way, I wouldn't put two FireWire hard drives on the same 
chain or attach them to a FireWire hub, I would instead purchase a 
multi-port FireWire PCI card.
