I needed a 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive mount and didn't want to purchase one so I built my own from spare parts and pieces. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures while building it but these should suffice.

An old Quantum Fireball was used for the 3.5" frame. I removed all of the components and then used a hacksaw and dremel to cut out the middle of the aluminum drive frame.


Next I cut a piece of random sheet metal to the appropriate size and drilled holes to mount the 2.5” drive. I then used epoxy to attach it to the 3.5” frame.


After letting the epoxy dry I attached the 2.5" drive to the plate using screws and rubber washers for spacers.


Total Cost: $0.05 for Epoxy
 
nice dood!
wouldn't have thought to use an old drive, i prob would have just tried to mount it in my case somewhere. This makes things uniform and most likely cleaner :D
