why don't you just put it in the mounting screws/spacers used in cases, and use them like stilts?

i really like the enzotech ones. they are like $14 each though. all this stuff adds up pretty fast. i spent $1730 in the past week. i know thats not really alot but it feels like it seeing how i usually get stuff for free or pretty close to free.
