Adapter for half-height DVD burner?

Is there such a thing as an adapter for a 'half-height' DVD burner to fit into a regular 5.25 bay? Just wasted half-hour on Google trying to find one to buy, and never found squat. If these things exist, can someone please send a few links from NewEgg or BHPhoto? Preferably something black and metal, to blend in with my PC? Thanks!

Try searching for "5.25 to slim DVD adapter" ('slimline' is a more common description of laptop style ODD's than "half height"). Make sure you get the correct size as they can come in 9.5mm or 12.7mm sizes plus slot loading vs tray loading versions. Some of them (like this) add a 12.7mm ODD + 2.5" SATA + 2x USB 3.0 ports all in one.
