Yeah, the 5 does not really fit the standard "19 inch Rack Form Factor" and one needs to be creative if mounting it in a rack is desired... however a search on Ebay or similar will yield a few solutions by way of a shelf, tray, or a pair of ears from a Network Appliance or rackable Instrument that will likely fit the bill needing only slight modification.
I mounted my 7 with a pair of black 3u ears from a Cisco PIX Firewall. A few new holes for the mounting screws and voila! Perfect! But, a tray would have worked too... so there are options. One just needs to do a bit of searching to find them :-)
