SCSI is wider than IDE. this bridge you're talking about. it sounds like
its more than an adapter, has a card as part of it too.

as Mark says, the idea isn't to seal the seam around the cases so it

The idea is to turn two of the same kind of cases up on their sides or
ends , lid sides together, back to back,with the feet sticking out in
opposite directions, and attach those two lids firmly together like
mark conjectured that one could place four cases around a monitor, and I
