Emax

no- but if you make it exactly the same height and you incorrectly measure
the holes for the media drive, you have no room for adjustment / correction.
By making it not quite as tall as the two drives, you give yourself a
little wiggle room for mistake / adjustment.

Most people aren't "machine shop" accurate, and don't have CNC lathe, and
machinist tools.
