What is the quickest way to copy data from someone elses machine?

Hi all,
Say you had to copy 150GB of data from someone else's machine, and couldn't open the case to fit any new PCI controllers etc, what would be the quickest way to do it? I need to find a faster way of copying data from client's servers - currently using an IDE drive in a USB2 enclosure.

Is there an obvious quicker way? Most people I deal with don't have eSata or Firefire available unfortunately....

Cheers,
Matt

So possibly use a NAS box you mean? That sounds like it could be a good idea. Probably the only other option apart from USB i guess, and could be left running independently of a PC.
