Using a laptop dvd drive in a regular case?

I have several dvd and cd drives form laptops that I'd like to install in a regular case.

I know I can purchase an adapter:

But I'd like to solidly mount the drive in one of the 5 1/4" bays. Does anybody know where I can get a bracket of some sort which would allow me to mount a laptop drive into a normal bay?

Thanks!
 
Pretty damn expensive for what you get. If you have a Dremel.....cut out an appropriate sized hole/slot in a spare bay cover. The drive can be mounted with foam and tape, since they are so light.

Ive also looked for those things.....not widely available, if at all.
