Any cheap DI boxes or other options to pad a mic?

Some of my condensors don't have a pad switch on them, and I don't have enough pre-s with a pad built in... I have one Behringer Mic-100 preamp that does have a pad, and I also have a headphone tap box that has a pad too.. But I wonder if there are any cheap DI boxes out there with a -10 or -20 (or both) pad switch on them? Might be worthwhile to pick some up...

Any ideas?

    Shure makes an inline pad, don't use a DI if all you need is a pad.

    Here is a link..
