I've had my Antec ONE for a while and really quite like it for the price. I can't for the life of me see though how to install a floppy drive? Well, it's a flash card drive really but the same form factor.

There doesn't seem to be a blanking plate with a cutout, or one availabloe. Is it not supported on the Antec ONE, or do I have to get all DIY on it's mesh?
 
Custom it is then. Antec support:

"Thank you for contacting Antec Customer Support.

The One does not come with any mounting solution for an external 3.5" drive. Your best bet is to use a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter that you can purchase at many computer stores locally. Alternatively you can custom fit the drive bay cover and use an adapter to make it look more uniform."
 
I have the silverstone one and it's ace!

I have my 1TB HDD and 64GB SSD sotred up in a 5.25 Drive bay, to improve airflow..The apadter is very versatile. Will mount a floppy drive easy.
 
By custom I mean if I want to match the mesh front it may mean cutting out the existing blanking plate. I'm not that bothered about a uniform look so one of the adapters is what I'll go for.

Cheers!
 
I would re-try Antec support. Doesn't look like they understood your request:

Mounting an internal floppy drive should be easy, it's the matching mesh you're after. I don't think they understood that.
