Default How do you mount non-rack gear in a rack?

I bought a 1U rack shelf and need to mount a 3.5" eSATA enclosure and
an Emagic 26 audio interface to it. I've been through some hardware
stores and arts & crafts supply places looking for ideas. So far I've
seen aluminum strips I can make u-brackets from, velcro strips, and
long wire ties with small mounting blocks that you pass them through.
I've also looked around the Markertek web site and some other sites
that deal with racks but haven't seen anything there. None of the
options I've seen look ideal, although the u-brackets would probably
be the most workable (what I saw was 1/8" thick 1-inch wide aluminum
strips, probably overkill for this job).

The rack shelf is pre-drilled for a variety of 1/2-rack & 1/3-rack
units, which is probably useless to me unless I get lucky and have the
screw holes be where I need. I have my drill ready.

I'm guessing that the pros who do this have an accepted method. Any
tips are appreciated, thanks!
