Mounting a 2.5" SSD in a 3.5" HDD Bay [solved]

I'm in the process of building a new computer and one of the things I'd like to do is set up a SSD boot drive.
So researching my options I came across this OCZ SSD which has comparable specs to the MTRON MSP7000 but is about half the price.
The catch is it only comes in 2.5" form. I'm sure there is a way of mounting this in my case (Cooler Master Cosmos S) but my Google skills have failed me. I already know I can get an adapter that allows me to connect the wiring properly but I'm pretty sure it'd be a bad idea to have no clearance between the bottom of the SSD and whatever flat surface I'd be forced to rest it on using only that solution.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to properly mount this?
