I have an HAF 932 case and I think this might be sufficient:

The worst case scenario I will just buy:

I want to directly connect the SATA to the SSD because it runs on SATA III technology, and the 5.25 to 2.5 converter utilizes SATA 3.0Gbps instead of 6.0. Even 3.0Gbps connected to an SSD enclosure beats HDD! :D

These things are just metal brackets with holes in them for the screws. It really doesn't matter which one you get - it's not like it has to withstand the 3+Gs of a shuttle launch...

Have yu bought the SSD yet ? Many are available in both 2.5" and 3.5" versions which makes the "converter" unnecessary.

Here the 3.5" version of OCZ's 120 GB model (note there are several models that come in both 3.5" and 2.5" versions ... newegg is outta stock on may) is $185

I went with this one ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... ) for my SSD but in truth, you can sit it at the bottom of your case and still be good (granted it isn't a LANParty Build :)  ). With no moving parts, you don't have the concerns of being mounted or obsorbing shock.
