i would be VERY surprised if you couldn't fit these in there SOMEWHERE, the sata to compactflash adapter i got was about 1.75 inches across and very very thin, i was able to mount them side by side on top of the drive tray in my machine, you can easily make a bracket...i know a guy who used double sided tape! but, check out this picture http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812186051 most of them can be found like this, they are VERY VERY thin and can be mounted just about anywhere. they don't get very hot. I've used them on a few machines, opensolaris and freebsd. I'm a big fan of compact flash.
