The page won't load for me, but I'm guessing those are the metal brackets. Over here they dissapeared from retailers and before that they were at pretty ridiculous prices for a set. The other problem I had, was I didn't have any face cover plates so it would look ugly.
What I did was get the cheapest HDD bay cooler thing, Silverstone FP53. Looks pretty nice and I was stunned when I saw my HDD almost 15C cooler than usual. Then fan is loud so i cut of the 4p molex and soldered on a 3pin connector and put it into the Scythe Kama panel fan controller:)

Yes, I live in Canada.
Yes, I bought it from Denmark.
...but I figured that since I already was buying 3kg worth of watercooling components there, I might as well buy a cheap HDD decoupler while I was at it.
