5.25" bay to fit TWO slimline drives?

[Con]

I have been looking for a product that can fit in a 5.25" bay and house TWO slimline drives (like laptop optical drives). I do have a legitimate use for this, as it will be housing my slimline Blu-ray Burner (and DVD Writer and CD Writer) and below it will be my USB + PATA floppy disk drive of the same slimline form factor (which makes it a very strange product, but it fits) and then I can assign the drive letters to A: Floppy & B: Blu-Ray.

 

I have found such a product that houses not just 1, but two slimline laptop drives in on singular 5.25" bay, and here it is: Combo Kit for Dual Slimline Blu-ray/DVD - Black Bezel (DIG-23401)

It seems perfectly fine at $28, the only problem is that when I tried to order it to the UK the price went way up to $151.22, because of $123.11 shipping!

 

At the time of writing, this is the only product I can find on the web where two slimline drives can fit inside one 5.25" bay. I need some more options of places to go to acquire such a product. I'd sooner try to make my own than spend this much money on a simple drive holder.

 

Any help is always appreciated.

Have you considered upgrading your technology to 21st century stuff?

Such as flash or network storage?

I use floppies for my older tech stuff, like a few computers and an electric organ which reads and writes MIDI data to floppy drives.

 

As for Blu-Ray, I spent £2,000 building this system but didn't get round to any optical drives, and I have a lot of rare music CDs I'd like to copy, plus I'm getting a HDMI VCR at some point to capture onto Blu-Rays, might be able to make a profit from that, but the reason for Blu-Ray burning is mostly for "Just 'cus".

 

It's a personalised system to me, and I'm at the point where I'd like to start doing some experimental customisations. I have some genuine current uses for Floppy and Optical media, I'd just like a way to physically make them part of the system build, like we would in the old days, and it will be covered by one of the 5.25" dust covers to make the Blu-Ray+Floppy section a sort of hidden feature.

Can't find any too. At this point just use duct tape

Ah, that seems to come bundled with the DVD writer and it costs over £100.

 

I'm getting a dremel at some point; at this rate I'll probably end up just cutting and filing a hole in the bottom of a single slimline 5.25" adaptor.
