I used these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ENU1DQC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1, but any SDR with the case removed would work.
I put them in this project box (though I'd recomend going a little bigger)

and then fabricated a bracket that fit snugly into that project box and held each SDR vertically, with their components facing inwards. The SDRs are held in the bracket by holes/slots that fit the USB connector and the antennae connectors. Then drilled vent holes in the project case over the center of that bracket. Build an airpath from one end of the project box to the bottom of the bracket, between the two SDRs, on either end.
Idea being that the heat from the SDRs will cause a natural convection airflow, draw in from the end of the case, into the bracket between the SDRs, and then up and out of the case through the top vent holes.
​
Then just use USB cables to go from your rPI to the SDR box.
I also mounted a GPS on top of the project box, but keep it as far away from the SDRs as possible. Basically put the SDRs at one end, and then the other end will hold the extra length of the antennae cables. and you can put the GPS over that end.
If that is clear as mud I can try to sketch it, let me know.

Hmm ... the "bundle" may be out of stock but you can buy both components separately.

Get a nice case 3D printed
No, you need "nano" SDRs.
The case you've ordered is the same one that was on display at the Maker Faire by /u/LithuanianAmerican.
Here's a nano SDR kit. You can get them overnight also (Prime). There are no pictures yet since I haven't gotten around to taking pics.

They're pre-programmed to match up with the antennas. With the enclosure, you'll also want some antennas:
