Anyone know the product name of an adapter/bracket that I can use to mount a slimline optical drive and a floppy/card reader in a single 5.25" bay?

I still can't find one in the UK, but I found a company in America that was willing to sell me one of these:

The product code is BR-2U02. Now I will be able to fit an extra disc in my new shuttle.

An extra disk of what? Floppy, hard drive or CD/DVD? It will depend on the model of Shuttle that you have but if you have a spare 5.25" drive bay then that will fit. I don't know how many connectors you have though either PSU or data so you might need power splitters.

I want to mount two 3.5" HDDs a floppy/card reader and a DVDrw in a G series shuttle chassis. I was gonna get a SN25P so that I could have three hard drives, but I decided to compromise and get a G series chassis, because they're generally a bit cheaper. Not sure if I'm gonna need a power splitter, but even if I do, a 300W PSU should handle everything, especially since I'll be using a slimline DVD, which uses less power. I could also use a 2.5" for the system drive which would also save on power.

Ah right, I understand now. That will be absolutely fine, a power splitter is pretty cheap if you do need one.
