This is very off topic but, I have no idea where else to ask.  We obtained
some used Leveno CTO7483 desktop units for experimentation.  I had intended to
install CentOS-7 on one of them.  As they arrived with a vendor upgraded
Windows 7ProSP1 install without media I decided to pull the disk drive and
install onto a spare drive that I installed.

Those of you with any experience with this model computer or its family can
tell where this is going.

Basically, the disk drive module for these things is disposable.  The HDD is
enclosed in a removable caddy but is welded to it.  You can only replace the
HDD with a pre-mounted HDD in yet another caddy, which item is available only
from Leveno.

My question is:  Does anyone here know of a source for an after-market caddy
that fits these machines ad which allows one to install a standard low profile
3.5 inch SATA HDD?  My google-fu has failed in my attempts, but that may
becuse I have no idea how to phrase a search for this situation.
