Mounting a bay convertor in a Phanteks Enthoo 719

Hardware Build a PC

I have a 5x3.5 inch hot swap drive bay that occupies 3x5.25 inch drive bays on an old NAS build that I would like to reuse. But my more modern system is built in a Phanteks Enthoo 719 with no ODD bays at all, and the optional ODD bay bracket only has two slots (and will restrict airflow to the CPUs quite heavily).

Does anyone know of a reasonably elegant and robust way of mounting this thing internally? Or am I just going to have to ditch it and plug the drives in directly?

That…
New cases are not made for optical drives nor hot swaps nor any of the useful stuff. It’s all glass, RGB and PSU covers.

Multi-5.25 bays are dying breed among tower cases. Phanteks offers an Enthoo-Pro, hosting something like 4x5.25
