Looking for 3to4 5.25 bay to 3.5 adaptor with damping & vent

Hello,

I'm looking for something like a 3x 5.25 to 4x 3.5 adaptor.

The lian li bay adaptors (Lian Li EX-33B1-P, Lian Li EX-36A2 etc) look awesome, have damping and ventilation but they are generally way too expensive and hard to come by (no availability in my country is seems)

COOLER MASTER STB-3T4-E3-GP 4-in-3 Device looks ok (not impressed, compared to lian li), damping - looks like the device itself might generate noise, intake for ventilation look inadequate.

Silverstone CFP51 looks worse, same damping style, and with added led annoyances

Silverstone CFP52B looks good, cheap enough, has the right damping, though I don't understand how the hell is that fan mounted and if I can use it in my case.

Are there any alternatives to these ? Something with rubber grommets at the hdd mount points and no intake restrictions.
