Bah!  Try $100US and up for Octane brackets with no drive.  Same thing
for O2 - though I did recently get on with a 9GB fo $96 and I was happy
to pay it.  Never found an Octane bracket with drive for less than $150
though...

I think you should make and sell them, personally.  Of course, that's
just my opinion, I could be wrong.  The only thing you might have to
worry about is the stability of the resin under heat - when it gets hot
in the SS5/20, will the resin release fumes that will eat away at the
electronics?
