If you find a source for those half-height knockouts I'd like to know
about it.

Recently a client bought a pair of Seagate ST32550 'cuda drives from
'Falcon' which is a drive-in-a-box reseller.
They mount these in a somewhat cheezy box which is full-height with a fan in
the back wall and those half-height 'knockouts' in the front (they look
just like the plastic front on a half-height drive, including the green led.)

With the drives mounted on individual brackets a couple of inches behind
the front panel the temperature of the actual drives is only slightly
warm.
One of these drives mounted in the space below the floppy mtg. in a modern-
style case will be super hot OTOH.

Setup as above, 2x 'cudas are good to go.
