If you look on eBay, you'll see some SATA drive enclosures that are  
smaller than those.

Most I have found have wall warts (though there is plenty of room in a  
small case), or are quite expensive.

I could even deal with 5.25", if it was shallow.  Most are so deep it  
would be hard to sit on my server.

Sitting it down besides it, that's room I just don't have right now.

Oh to have a computer room...
