I'm looking for an adapter to let my SATA drives be mounted into CDROM slots on my comp. What would such a thing be called. I'm not having any luck finding it anywhere.

A Hard Drive mount for a 5.25" bay. They make them, they are 2 U shaped brackets that attach to either side of the HD, then into the CD bay.

I've most often seen them packaged inside a retail HD box, but I'm sure they come seperate.

Something like this:

but cheaper.

If you don't want to order it online, I've seen them at CompUSA. If you say 'drive expanders' I think they'll get the idea.

Yeah also known as mounting brackets or a 3.5" to 5.25" mounting/adapter kit.
